Ingredients

  • 4 eggs 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 Lakanto maple flavored syrup or sweetener of choice (optional)

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

  • These pancakes are filling - that's the nature of coconut flour. One was enough for me. If you have a teenager, a hungry husband or an active day ahead of you, you might want to calculate two per person.
  • To keep things on the simple side, I have calculated the nutrition info per pancake.
  • Tip: Do invest in a quality pan when you're cooking low carb. Coconut flour pancakes, for example, are more fragile than wheat pancakes because they lack the gluten. You don't want them to stick! 
  • Update: These pancakes taste SUPERB with the Lakanto sugar free maple flavored syrup.
