Fluffy Cinnamon Pancakes (Coconut Flour)

These coconut flour pancakes are light and fluffy, made by blending egg yolks with melted butter and coconut flour, then folding in stiffly beaten egg whites for extra lift. Cinnamon adds warm spice, and an optional maple-flavored syrup gives gentle sweetness. The batter yields tender pancakes that cook quickly on a non-stick pan, making a filling breakfast option especially suited for those following low-carb or gluten-free diets due to the use of coconut flour and separation of eggs for lightness.

Ingredients

  • 4 egg separated
  • ½ cup butter melted (90g), or coconut oil
  • 4 tablespoon coconut flour
  • 2 tablespoon coconut milk or almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon maple flavored syrup or sweetener of choice (optional, Lakanto brand

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Separate the eggs. In a large mixing bowl with an electric blender or in a food processor, blend the egg yolks with the melted butter, coconut flour, coconut milk, baking powder, cinnamon and optional sweetener.
  2. In a second bowl (must be dry, metal or porcelain), whisk the egg whites with a handheld electric mixer until stiff peaks form. The stiffer the whites, the fluffier your pancakes will be!
  3. Fold the egg whites into the pancake batter.
  4. Melt butter or coconut oil in a non-stick frying pan over low-medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons of batter per pancake. In a large frying pan, you can fry 2 pancakes at a time. Fry for around 2-3 minutes.
  5. Flip the pancakes with a wide spatula once the top starts bubbling. Fry on the other side for around 1 more minute. The mixture makes 6 pancakes of 10cm diameter each.

Notes

  • Separate the eggs and beat whites stiffly to ensure pancakes rise well and become fluffy.
  • Use a quality non-stick pan or good seasoning to prevent delicate coconut flour pancakes from sticking and breaking.
  • Each pancake is quite filling due to coconut flour's density; one may serve a light breakfast, while active individuals might want two per serving.
  • Optional sweeteners like sugar-free maple-flavored syrup enhance flavor without adding much sugar.
