These coconut flour pancakes are not only quick and easy, but have no compromise in flavor! Top them with maple syrup, honey or a sweetener of choice (that fits your dietary requirements) and some fresh fruit.

They need only 5 simple ingredients and 20 minutes in total to prepare. If you need something gluten-free, low-carb, keto, and/or paleo – they’ll work for you!

eggs
coconut flour
baking powder
vanilla essence
honey (or liquid sweetener of choice)

Start by thoroughly mixing all the ingredients until the batter is smooth and lump free. An electric whisk will make quick work of this. (Photo 1, 2, 3)
If the mixture is too runny, let it stand for a few minutes.
On a medium heat, melt some butter or coconut oil into a non-stick pan.
Pour 3-4 scoops of batter into the pan (depending on the size of your pan)
Cook for 1-2 minutes per side. They are usually ready to flip when little bubbles form on the surface of the pancake. The second side of the pancake usually cooks a bit faster. (Photo 4)
Serve immediately while hot! We enjoy them with a drizzle maple syrup or honey, but you can use a sugar free variety as well. We also enjoy fresh fruits on the side!

How healthy is coconut flour?

Coconut flour has a lower glycemic index than wheat flour, which means it causes a lower spike in blood sugar. It’s also gluten-free, making it a great alternative flour for people who are sensitive to grains.

Does coconut flour go bad?

Yes, like all whole foods, coconut flour will eventually go bad. If stored in the pantry, it can last from 3-6 months. When stored in the fridge it can last for 6-12 months. In the freezer it can last from 12-24 months.

Why do my coconut flour pancakes fall apart?

A batter using coconut flour doesn’t stick together as well as a batter using wheat flour would. Adding coconut cream or another type of fat (cream cheese, ghee) can help hold things together.
