Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other low-carb milk)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter (plus extra for the griddle)
- Optional: Sweetener to taste (e.g., erythritol or stevia for sugar-free)
Instructions
- Combine the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil or butter until smooth. If using sweetener, add it now.
- Combine batters: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk until just combined. The batter will be thick; let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb the liquid.
- Heat the griddle: Lightly grease a non-stick griddle or large skillet with coconut oil or butter and heat over medium-low heat. You need a lower heat for coconut flour to prevent burning.
- Cook the pancakes: Drop batter onto the hot griddle using a 1/4 cup measure for each pancake. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and set in the center. Do not press down on the pancakes while cooking.
- Serve immediately: Stack your fluffy coconut flour pancakes and top with your favorite low-carb syrup, fresh berries, or butter.
Notes
- For extra fluffiness, separate the egg yolks and whites. Whisk the yolks with the wet ingredients, then whip the whites to soft peaks and gently fold them into the batter last.
