Helpful Tips
If you're challenged making pancakes with having them fall apart when you flip them or having to use a bucket of coconut oil so they don't stick, use an electric skillet. I highly recommend it! My Mom bought me one a few years ago and it makes pancake making EASY.
Nothing sticks (and coconut flour is notorious for sticking!) so you can flip your pancakes with ease. No cooking spray or oil is needed, and you pancakes turn out evenly and smooth on both side. Truly the best solution for making pancakes! I've never looked back.
Final note! Remember when baking with coconut flour (or any gluten free baking) it's important to measure it the right way. Enjoy the stack!

- Then fold in coconut flour and stir by hand. Be careful to not over mix as coconut flour is extremely absorbent.

What I Used For The Recipe
Can I use more coconut flour or sth else instead of tapioca flour?
The tapioca flour is necessary to hold the pancakes together. Arrowroot powder would be an alternative to the tapioca.
What about cornstarch or xantham gum substituted for the tapioca flour? 1:1?
Yes
