Calories: 68kcal
Ingredients
- 3 large egg whites
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup unsweetened coconut milk or milk of choice
- 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
- Measure the coconut flour the right way to prevent the batter from becoming too dense.
- When baking with coconut flour, you should expect a drier texture compared to grain flours. If it is very dry, then the flour may not have been measured properly or may be expired.
- Eggs and milk should be room temperature for making coconut flour pancakes. If the ingredients are too cold, it will stiffen the batter.
- Coconut flour does not bake like other flours. You must not over mix the batter or it will absorb the liquid ingredients too much and your pancakes will not turn out. A simple stir or two to combine is enough, don't over do it!
- You can substitute 2 whole eggs in this recipe. Note this does change the nutritional values of the recipe.
