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

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Repeat until all batter is used up. The mix makes 8 pancakes.

Notes

  • The mix makes 8 pancakes. 2 pancakes per serving. 
  • Net carbs: 1.6g per 2 pancakes / 1 serving. 
  • 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.   
  • This recipe works with both sweet and savoury toppings. Here are some ideas: 
  •  - Sugar free syrup 
  •  - a knob of butter
  •  - sour cream or Greek yoghurt / coconut yoghurt
  •  - berries such as blueberries, strawberries, raspberries
  •  - Sugar Free Lemon Curd
  •  - Keto Caramel Sauce
  •  - bacon
  •  - sauteed mushrooms, spinach and melted cheese
