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!
Perfect Paleo Coconut Pancakes
Ingredients
- 3 large egg whites
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 tablespoon tapioca flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine eggs with honey, milk, cinnamon and vanilla extract with a hand mixer. Blend until eggs are fluffy as clouds 2-3 minutes.
- Next add baking soda, baking powder, tapioca flour and mix with hand mixer just to combine.
- Then fold in coconut flour and stir by hand. Be careful to not over mix as coconut flour is extremely absorbent.
- Heat an electric griddle or skillet to medium heat. If using a skillet spray with nonstick coconut oil spray. Scoop a 1/4 cup of the batter and add to the skillet.
- Cook 3-4 minutes until small bubbles form in the center of the pancakes then flip to cook another 2 minutes until lightly browned on both sides.
- Remove from skillet and place on a baking rack to cool. Repeat for entire batter then devour!
Notes
- My Amazon shop has more products similar to those used for this recipe and that I recommend to my nutrition clients.
- Measure the coconut flour the right way to prevent the dough from becoming too dense.

What I Used For The Recipe
Looks sooo good!! But... In my country we don't have tapioca flour. How can I replace it? Would it work with oat flour (I know it won't be gluten free). Thank you!
Arrowroot powder or corn starch would likely work.
I have tried to make hear twoce and my batter comes out extremely no thick and the pancakes don't cook all the way through. What am I doing wrong?
I don't understand your comment. Were they thick or not thick? The batter is thick and when you place it on a frying pan or skillet, you need to spread into a thin layer otherwise they will be too thick to cook. The other thing to keep in mind is measuring the coconut flour properly. Make sure you're spooning it into the measuring cup so you're not getting too much. Coconut flour is picky to work with! Takes practice.
Yum!! These look so yummy!
They are addicting!
Lynne and I are getting more and more into pancakes, so I've pinned this recipe. Thanks Megan
Pancakes are not a traditional breakfast here in Scotland. But we certainly think they should be. Especially when they look and sound as yummy as there!
I'm also intrigued to cook with tapioca flour and coconut flour which I haven't used before.
I'm intrigued by what a Scottish breakfast is now. I think you will be pleasantly surprised by coconut flour and tapioca. They're one of my favorites to cook with.
I definitely need a redo and preferably this time I want to start with a nice fluffy stack of pancakes like these! They look amazing. I hope the rest of your week goes better. Thank you for linking up with us for Meatless Monday!
