How To Make Amazing Coconut Flour Pancakes (Paleo)!

These  Paleo Pancakes are nut-free, grain-free,  gluten-free and dairy-free! 

Fluffy, delicious pancakes make breakfast the best meal!  

Ingredients For Paleo Pancakes with Coconut Flour:

• Coconut Flour
• Baking Soda
• Baking Powder
• Maple Syrup
• Banana
• Salt
• Eggs
• Unsweetened Almond Milk
• Vanilla

How To Make Coconut Flour Pancakes:

1. Gather and measure the ingredients.  Crack the eggs in a bowl, mash the banana in a bowl. 

2.  Combine dry ingredients in a bowl.  Add wet ingredients in another bowl.  

3.  Whisk the wet ingredients together and whisk or stir the dry ingredients together to combine.

4.  Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and add the mashed banana.

Tip:  Set the batter aside for a few minutes while the skillet is heating.  This gives the batter ingredients to firm up as the coconut flour soaks up the wet ingredients.

5.  Preheat skillet to low-medium.  This is will vary depending on your stove.  I’m using a cast iron skillet on a gas stove.  

6.  Add a bit of oil to coat a skillet or pan, (I’m using a cast-iron skillet here), add about 1/4-1/3 cups per pancake.  Using the spatula, spread and shape the pancake.

Mine are usually 4″ diameter.  Cook about 3-4 minutes per side, but the pancake should be firm and not feel like it will fall apart.  Using your pancake flipper of choice, gently push it under the pancake to see if it is flippable.  Then flip it over and cook about another 3 minutes.  If the pancakes are too brown (or burning), you might try lowering the heat.

7.   Serve with your favorite toppings, fresh fruit, maple syrup, honey, etc…

So, if you are looking for a tasty, easy, fluffy, low-carb pancakes, try these.

Coconut Flour:

• Coconut flour requires much more liquid than other flours, including almond flour in its recipes.  This is usually eggs.  In order to use fewer eggs, I used more almond milk in these gluten-free pancakes.  To make nut-free, you could try another milk, maybe coconut milk.

Blueberry Sauce for Coconut Flour Pancakes:

1.  One cup fresh or frozen blueberries
2.  Two tablespoons maple syrup.
3.  Combine berries, maple syrup (can substitute honey), and a few tablespoons of water in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.  Bring to a low simmer, cook and stir berries for about 8 minutes until tender and mixture turns into a sauce.
4. Pour over fresh pancakes.  Yum!

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup organic coconut flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 banana (mashed)
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
• 3/4 cup almond milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• Blueberry Sauce (use all blueberries or other berries)
• 1 cup blueberries
• 2 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

1. If using a cast-iron skillet, preheat your skillet to medium-low heat.

2. Combine dry ingredients (organic coconut flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt) in a medium-sized bowl.

3. Add the fresh lemon juice to the dry ingredients.  If it starts to fizz that is fine; it is the reaction between the baking soda/powder and helps to create fluffier pancakes.

4. Combine eggs,  maple syrup, vanilla, and almond milk in a bowl and whisk together.

5. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Set aside for about 2 minutes. This gives the batter a better chance to absorb the coconut flour.

6. In your heated skillet, add some spray coconut oil or olive oil.  Alternatively, you could add a tablespoon of oil and spread around the pan. Then add1/4 cup of pancake mix to the skillet and spread to make a pancake shape.  Cook for about 3 minutes per side until pancakes are lightly browned and cooked inside.  Makes 5 pancakes.

7. For the Blueberry Sauce - Combine berries, maple syrup and a few tablespoons of water in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to a low simmer cook until berries are soft and tender, about 8 -10 minutes.

8. The mixture can be immediately poured over pancakes, or if you desire a smoother texture can be put in a blender and processed (and then poured over pancakes).

9. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
