Published 11/4/2018 • Updated 6/20/2024 I thought these coconut flour pancakes were going to be hard to get right, but I only had to make them 3 times until we got the perfect ratio of ingredients! You know what that means — 3 whole batches of pancakes, all for me. MWAHAHA. If you’re a pancake fiend like me, you’ve got to try our Paleo Pumpkin Pancakes and Grain-Free Applesauce Pancakes. SO good! For real, though. Grain-filled or grain-free, these are legit going to be my new go-to pancake recipe! Just make the batter, plop it on the griddle, flip once, and BOOM. Ready to eat!
Coconut Flour Pancakes (Just 4 Main Ingredients!)
Coconut flour: The star ingredient of these pancakes! Coconut flour is a nutrient-dense, gluten-free, and low-carb alternative to traditional wheat flour. Almond milk: I thought I’d go big with the coconutty flavor and use Blue Diamond’s unsweetened almond milk/coconut milk Blend. However, any kind of almond milk will work! Eggs: Key to this recipe, eggs add moisture and act as a binding agent. Don’t skip it! Honey: The perfect natural sweetener for these pancakes. It adds just the right amount of sweetness and compliments the coconut flavor.
Can I make these pancakes with coconut flour egg-free?
If you’re egg-free, I’m sorry, but eggs are crucial to the success of these keto coconut flour pancakes! I haven’t tried making them without eggs, but if you do experiment, let us know in the comments below!
What can I swap for the honey?
You’re welcome to use any sweetener of choice—even banana for tasty banana coconut flour pancakes! If swapping, use a 1 to 1 ratio of your preferred sweetener to honey.
Can you substitute coconut flour for regular flour?
No! Subbing coconut flour for regular flour 1:1 is the most common mistake I see in baking and cooking! Do NOT substitute coconut flour for regular flour. The baking properties in coconut flour is much different than regular flour because it is so dense and absorbent! Make sure you use a coconut flour specific recipe if you’re looking to only use coconut flour.
Why are my coconut pancakes falling apart?
If your coconut flour pancakes are falling apart, it could be the brand of coconut flour you use. I’ve used some pretty bad coconut flour in the past that just doesn’t hold together well. I recommend using high-quality, finely ground coconut flour for best results. It should absorb your wet ingredients like a sponge!
