Make light, fluffy coconut flour pancakes that are naturally gluten-free and perfect for keto or low-carb diets. This quick recipe simplifies your morning routine.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Whisk the dry ingredients (coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and sweetener if using) together in a medium bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. The batter will be thick. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb the liquid.
  4. Gently stir in the melted coconut oil or butter.
  5. Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with coconut oil or butter.
  6. Drop batter by 1/4 cup measures onto the hot griddle to form pancakes. You may need to gently spread the batter slightly with the back of a spoon, as coconut flour pancakes do not spread easily.
  7. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and firm to the touch. Flip carefully.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite low-carb toppings.

Notes

  • For extra fluffiness, separate the eggs. Whisk the yolks with the wet ingredients, then beat the egg whites separately until soft peaks form. Fold the beaten egg whites into the batter last.
  • 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.
  • These pancakes freeze well. Cool completely, then place parchment paper between layers before storing in a freezer-safe bag for up to one month. Reheat in a toaster or microwave.
