Make incredibly light and fluffy coconut flour pancakes that are naturally gluten-free and low-carb. This simple recipe is perfect for a healthy, quick breakfast or brunch that fits Keto and Paleo lifestyles.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or dairy-free milk)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter (plus more for the griddle)
  • Optional: 1-2 tablespoons of your preferred sugar substitute for sweetness

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until well combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk until just combined. If using a sugar substitute, mix it in now. The batter will be thick; this is normal for coconut flour. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid.
  4. Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with coconut oil or butter.
  5. Drop batter by 1/4 cup measures onto the hot griddle. You may need to gently spread the batter slightly with the back of your spoon to form a round shape, as it won’t spread much on its own.
  6. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and set in the center. Flip carefully.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings for a wholesome breakfast stack.

Notes

  • For extra fluffiness, separate the egg whites and whip them to soft peaks before gently folding them into the batter at the end.
  • If you want to make these Keto Blueberry Coconut Flour Pancakes, gently fold in 1/4 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries after the batter rests.
  • Coconut flour absorbs moisture quickly; if your batter seems too thick after resting, add 1 teaspoon of almond milk at a time until you reach a thick but pourable consistency.
