Make light and fluffy coconut flour pancakes that are naturally gluten-free and keto-friendly. This easy recipe uses minimal ingredients to avoid the common dryness sometimes associated with coconut flour.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or preferred low-carb milk)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter (plus more for the griddle)
  • Optional: Sweetener to taste (e.g., erythritol or stevia)

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the dry ingredients: coconut flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Add the almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil or butter to the eggs. Mix well.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk until just combined. Do not overmix. The batter will be thick. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes; this allows the coconut flour to fully absorb the liquid.
  4. Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with oil or butter.
  5. Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. You may need to gently spread the batter slightly with the back of the spoon, as it will not spread on its own like traditional batter.
  6. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and set. Cook low and slow to ensure the center cooks through without burning the outside.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Coconut flour absorbs liquid heavily; the batter must rest for the best texture.
  • Use medium-low heat; high heat burns the outside before the thick batter cooks inside.
  • If the batter seems too thick after resting, add one teaspoon of extra milk at a time until a thick, spoonable consistency is reached.
  • Serve with berries, sugar-free syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream for a complete meal.
