Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup whole milk ricotta cheese see note*
  • 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 lemon zested
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup tapioca flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch sea salt
For Serving:
  • ricotta
  • fresh strawberries chopped
  • pistachios
  • honey

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all of the ingredients for the pancakes to a blender and blend until smooth. The batter will be very thick.
  2. Heat a griddle or skillet to medium and add enough coconut oil (or cooking oil) to coat the surface, about 2 tablespoons. Wait 3 to 5 minutes for the skillet/griddle to heat up all the way before cooking the pancakes.
  3. Measure 1/4 cup of batter and pour onto the hot surface. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, until the sides of the pancake begin to firm up. Carefully flip and cook on the other side an additional 2 to 4 minutes, or until pancake is cooked through. Repeat for remaining batter (Note: I cook 3 pancakes at a time on a 10-inch skillet).
  4. Serve pancakes with a dollop of ricotta on top, along with fresh strawberries, pistachios, and a drizzle of honey or pure maple syrup.

Notes

  • *To make dairy-free, use non-dairy ricotta. Kite Hill makes a great one, which is made from almonds. You can also swap out the ricotta for full-fat canned coconut milk.
