Fluffy Cinnamon Pancakes (Coconut Flour)
You'll love these fluffy coconut flour cinnamon pancakes! This easy recipe is low carb and sugar free.
Servings: 6 pancakes
Calories: 204kcal
Equipment
- non-stick frying pan, 25-30cm diameter
Ingredients
- 4 eggs separated
- ½ cup butter melted (90g), or coconut oil
- 4 tablespoon coconut flour
- 2 tablespoon coconut milk or almond milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Lakanto maple flavored syrup or sweetener of choice (optional)
Instructions
- Separate the eggs. In a large mixing bowl with an electric blender or in a food processor, blend the egg yolks with the melted butter, coconut flour, coconut milk, baking powder, cinnamon and optional sweetener.
- In a second bowl (must be dry, metal or porcelain), whisk the egg whites with a handheld electric mixer until stiff peaks form. The stiffer the whites, the fluffier your pancakes will be!
- Fold the egg whites into the pancake batter.
- Melt butter or coconut oil in a non-stick frying pan over low-medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons of batter per pancake. In a large frying pan, you can fry 2 pancakes at a time. Fry for around 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes with a wide spatula once the top starts bubbling. Fry on the other side for around 1 more minute. The mixture makes 6 pancakes of 10cm diameter each.
Notes
These pancakes are filling - that's the nature of coconut flour. One was enough for me. If you have a teenager, a hungry husband or an active day ahead of you, you might want to calculate two per person.
To keep things on the simple side, I have calculated the nutrition info per pancake.
Tip: Do invest in a quality pan when you're cooking low carb. Coconut flour pancakes, for example, are more fragile than wheat pancakes because they lack the gluten. You don't want them to stick!
Update: These pancakes taste SUPERB with the Lakanto sugar free maple flavored syrup.
