Classic Coconut Flour Pancakes


Coconut flour is low carb and high in fibre but unfortunately it's quite difficult to work with. Luckily for you guys I did my homework regarding coconut flour pancakes really well (read: loads of hard mornings trying out different coconut flour pancake recipes, poor poor me). I succeeded and can now finally bring you this great pancake recipe!

They are quite fluffy and not dry at all, what often is the case with these pancakes. For me the caramalized banana makes it really sweet but if you find the pancakes themselves not sweet enough you can add more honey.

Enjoy guys!


Servings: serves 2* (or 1 really hungry person) 

*You can keep half of the pancakes in the fridge for the next morning if you are making this for just yourself.

Ingredients:


Pancakes:

  • 35 gr coconut flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 60 ml coconut milk
  • 20 gr molten coconut oil
  • 20 gr honey (or maple syrup/rice syrup)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • small squeeze of lemon/lime juice

Toppings:
  • few scoops of Skyr (or low fat quark/low fat Greek yoghurt)
  • handfull of toasted coconut flakes
  • hanfull of berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries etc.)
  • 1 ripe banana, chopped
  • 30 gr mixed pistachios / almonds


Method:
  1. Sift the coconut flour and add all other ingredients. Mix together using a blender until smooth and all lumps are gone (scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure that all dry ingredients are incorporated well). Let the mix stand for 5-10 minutes to make sure that the coconut flour has absorbed the liquid.
  2. Put a frying pan to medium heat and grease it with a little bit of coconut oil. Add the chopped banana chunks and fry them until golden. Take them out of the frying pan and set aside. 
  3. Bake the pancakes carefully on low/medium heat (no high heat!!). Keep them warm in a preheated oven at 50 degrees C while you keep on baking.
  4. Assemble your plate: stack the pancakes on top of eachother, glue them together using scoops of Skyr/yoghurt. Add toasted coconut flakes, berries, caramalized bananas and nuts. Enjoy!
