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 tablespoon sweetener (like erythritol or monk fruit for keto)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk until just combined. The batter will be thick.
Stir in the melted coconut oil or butter and any optional sweetener. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes; this allows the coconut flour to absorb the liquid, making the pancakes fluffier.
Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with coconut oil or butter.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle. You may need to gently spread the batter slightly with the back of the spoon, as it will not spread on its own like traditional batter.
Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Flip carefully and cook the second side for another 2 to 3 minutes.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings. If you are looking for easy meal planning, these freeze well for quick future breakfasts.
Notes
For extra fluffiness, separate the egg whites, whip them to soft peaks, and gently fold them into the batter at the end.
If you are tracking macros, consider pairing these with a subscription to a keto meal plan delivery service for variety.
These pancakes are naturally grain-free and low-carb, making them a great alternative to traditional recipes when you are focused on weight loss programs.
If you want to try a variation, add 1/4 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries to the batter before cooking.
