PREP TIME: 10 minutes

COOK TIME: 10 minutes

TOTAL TIME: 20 minutes

SERVINGS: 2 (makes about 6 pancakes)

 

INGREDIENTS:

1.                  1/4 cup coconut flour

2.                  4 large eggs

3.                  1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any low-carb milk)

4.                  2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

5.                  1 tablespoon erythritol (or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener)

6.                  1 teaspoon baking powder

7.                  1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

8.                  Pinch of salt

9.                  Butter or coconut oil for cooking

 

 

 

PREPARATION:

1.                  In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted coconut oil, almond milk, vanilla extract, and erythritol until well combined.

2.                  In a separate bowl, combine the coconut flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

3.                  Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until you have a smooth batter. Allow the batter to sit for a couple of minutes to let the coconut flour absorb the liquids.

4.                  Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or coconut oil to grease the surface.

5.                  Once the skillet is hot, ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of the ladle to spread the batter into a circular shape.

6.                  Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.

7.                  Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through.

8.                  Remove the pancakes from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

9.                  Serve the keto coconut flour pancakes warm, topped with your favorite keto-friendly toppings such as sugar-free maple syrup, whipped cream, berries, or chopped nuts.
