Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or preferred low-carb milk)
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Whisk the dry ingredients (coconut flour, baking powder, sweetener if using, and salt) together in a medium bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined.
- Add the almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the eggs. Mix well.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, whisking constantly until just combined. Do not overmix. The batter will be thick. Let it rest for 5 minutes to fully absorb the liquid.
- Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the surface.
- Portion the batter onto the griddle, using about 2 tablespoons per pancake. You may need to gently spread the batter slightly as it will not spread much on its own.
- Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side, or until bubbles appear and the edges look set.
- Flip carefully and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Coconut flour absorbs liquid quickly; the batter will be thick. If it seems too dry after resting, add an extra splash (1 teaspoon) of milk.
- Cook on medium-low heat. Coconut flour burns easily if the heat is too high.
- For extra richness, separate the eggs, whisk the yolks with the wet ingredients, and then whip the egg whites to soft peaks before gently folding them into the final batter.
- This recipe is naturally grain-free and low-carb.
