Ingredients
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any low-carb milk alternative)
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or butter
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Sweetener of choice (optional, to taste)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sweetener if using. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until well combined. Allow the batter to sit for a few minutes to thicken.
Step 2: Heat the Pan
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can add a little coconut oil or butter to the pan to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until you see bubbles forming on the surface. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve your Keto Coconut Flour Pancakes with your favorite low-carb toppings such as sugar-free syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
FAQs
Can I substitute coconut flour with almond flour?
While almond flour can be used, it will change the texture and absorbency of the pancakes. Coconut flour is very absorbent, so if you decide to use almond flour, you’ll need to adjust the amount of liquid in the recipe.
How do I store leftover pancakes?
Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage. Just reheat in the toaster or microwave before serving.
Can I make these pancakes dairy-free?
Yes! Simply use a dairy-free milk alternative and substitute the butter with coconut oil or another dairy-free option.
What can I use as a topping for Keto Coconut Flour Pancakes?
Some great low-carb toppings include sugar-free syrup, fresh berries, whipped coconut cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
