Servings: 4
Calories: 146kcal
Ingredients
- ¼ cup / 28g coconut flour
- 3 eggs large
- 2 tablespoon butter or coconut oil melted
- 6 tbsp / 84ml almond milk or coconut milk, unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon powdered sweetener optional
- more melted butter / coconut oil for frying
Instructions
- Beat the eggs with a balloon whisk or with an electric mixer until frothy. Add the rest of the ingredients and beat until you have a smooth batter. Let the batter sit for a couple of minutes so the coconut flour can absorb the liquids.
- Melt butter or coconut oil in a skillet or non stick frying pan over a low heat. Use 2 tablespoon of batter for 1 pancake and spread out using the back of the spoon. Two to three pancakes per pan. Pancakes should be approximately 4 inch / 10 cm in diameter.
- Fry the pancakes on low heat until bubbles form on the top, about 3 minutes. Don't move them during this time. Then flip and cook for a further minute. Please don’t be tempted to rush this and increase the heat or you risk burning them.
- Repeat until all batter is used up. The mix makes 8 pancakes.

The additional butter / coconut oil for frying is not included in the nutrition calculation.
These pancakes are small - about 10 cm or 4 inches in diameter. The size makes them easier to flip. It also means you can re-heat them in the toaster!
Store in the fridge for 4-5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
For best results, measure with a food scale.
Coconut flour brands can differ in texture. If your batter is too thick, add another splash of nut milk. If it's too thin, add a sprinkle of coconut flour. The batter should not be pourable. You'll need to spoon it into the pan and spread it slightly.
