Make light, fluffy coconut flour pancakes that are perfect for a healthy breakfast. This easy, low-carb, and gluten-free recipe delivers a satisfying stack without grains or added sugar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or dairy-free milk)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon melted coconut oil or butter (plus more for the griddle)
  • Optional: 1-2 teaspoons sweetener (like erythritol or stevia, if desired)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well combined.
  3. Add the almond milk and vanilla extract to the eggs and whisk until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
  5. Stir in the melted coconut oil or butter. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb the liquid. The batter will thicken significantly.
  6. Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with coconut oil or butter.
  7. Pour batter onto the hot griddle to form pancakes, using about 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake.
  8. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until the edges look set and bubbles appear on the surface, then flip carefully. Cook the second side until golden brown.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite low-carb toppings.

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 at the end.
  • If the batter seems too thick after resting, add milk one teaspoon at a time until you reach a pourable consistency.
  • These pancakes are naturally low in carbohydrates and suitable for keto and paleo diets.
