Fluffy Coconut Flour Pancakes
Description
These pancakes rely on careful measurement of coconut flour by weight to prevent dryness, as coconut flour absorbs moisture quickly. The batter includes eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, stevia glycerite or granular sweetener, and baking powder for leavening. After mixing the wet and dry ingredients to a smooth, thick consistency, the batter rests and thickens further before cooking. Cooking at medium-low heat prevents rapid browning and ensures the pancakes cook through gently. Each pancake is about a scant ¼ cup of batter, allowing consistent round shape and size. The final pancakes are soft and retain moisture despite the dense nature of coconut flour, resulting in a tender texture.
These coconut flour pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days and reheat well in the microwave. They freeze successfully when cooled completely, layered with wax paper to prevent sticking. This recipe provides a way to enjoy pancakes using coconut flour's unique qualities while maintaining a pleasant texture and flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 egg large
- ½ cup milk whole
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon stevia glycerite or 2 tablespoons of granulated sweetener
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt Diamond Crystal brand
- 2 ounces coconut flour ½ cup; please measure by weight
- 2 teaspoons baking powder gluten-free if needed
- Avocado oil spray for the skillet
Instructions
- In a small bowl, use a hand whisk to beat the eggs until frothy. Whisk in the milk, vanilla, stevia, and salt.
- Whisk in the coconut flour, mixing until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Stir in the baking powder. The batter will be thick, but it shouldn't be dry. Please remember to measure the coconut flour by weight to avoid using too much, which will result in dry pancakes.
- Spray a 12-inch nonstick skillet with avocado oil. Heat it over medium-low heat for about 4 minutes. The pancakes brown quickly, so medium-low is best.
- While the skillet heats up, the batter will thicken as the coconut flour absorbs the liquids. Give it another mix. If it seems very dry, stir in a tablespoon of milk or water. Keep in mind that the batter is supposed to be thick, as shown in the photo.
- Measure a scant ¼ cup per pancake (I use an ice cream scoop), and pour mounds of the batter into the skillet. You can cook between 2-4 pancakes at a time, depending on the size of your skillet. Or use a double-burner griddle and cook all eight.
- You can scatter 5-6 blueberries on top of each pancake at this point.
- Cook the pancakes until they are puffed, and when you carefully lift an edge with a spatula, the bottom is cooked. This should take 3-4 minutes over medium-low heat. Flip the pancakes carefully using two wide spatulas.
- If the batter spreads too much on the skillet after flipping the pancakes, gently push it back with the spatula.
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate. Cover them with foil or use an oven-safe plate and keep them in a 170°F oven to keep them warm while you cook more batches. Carefully wipe the skillet clean with paper towels, grease it again, and repeat the process twice with the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings. Look how fluffy they are!
Notes
- Measure coconut flour by weight to avoid dry pancakes and ensure batter consistency.
- Cook pancakes over medium-low heat to prevent burning and allow even cooking.
- Leftover pancakes can be refrigerated up to four days in an airtight container and reheated in the microwave.
- Pancakes freeze well; cool completely before freezing in single layers separated by wax paper.
