Whip up a stack of light, fluffy coconut flour pancakes. This easy recipe is naturally gluten-free, low-carb, and perfect for a healthy breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other low-carb milk)
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1-2 tablespoons of erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well combined.
  3. Add the almond milk, melted coconut oil (or butter), and vanilla extract to the eggs. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix. If using sweetener, add it now and mix briefly. The batter will be thick. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb the liquid.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the surface with coconut oil or butter.
  6. Drop batter onto the hot surface using a 1/4 cup measure for each pancake. You may need to gently spread the batter slightly with the back of a spoon, as it will not spread like traditional batter.
  7. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and set in the center. You will see bubbles form on the top surface when it is time to flip.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite sugar-free toppings.

Notes

  • For extra fluffy coconut flour pancakes, separate the egg whites and whip them to soft peaks before gently folding them into the batter at the end.
  • If the batter seems too thick after resting, add one teaspoon of almond milk at a time until you reach a thick but pourable consistency.
  • This recipe is naturally grain free and low sugar, making it ideal for keto breakfast stacks.
