3. Heat oil or butter in a large frying pan on the stove top over medium heat.

5. When set, flip and cook the other side.
6. Once both sides are golden brown and cooked through, remove from the frying pan.

Tips for Making Coconut Flour Pancakes

Let the batter thicken

Coconut flour absorbs liquid very quickly. After mixing the eggs and coconut flour, give the batter a moment to thicken before cooking.

Make small pancakes

These pancakes are easiest to flip when you make them fairly small. Drop tablespoons of batter into the frying pan rather than making one large pancake.

Cook over medium heat

Keep the heat moderate so the pancakes have time to cook through without becoming too dark on the outside.

Flip carefully

Wait until the pancake is set enough underneath before turning it. A small spatula makes flipping the pancakes easier.

Don’t add extra coconut flour too quickly

The batter becomes thick because coconut flour is highly absorbent. If it seems thicker than expected, give it a little time before deciding that it needs more liquid.

Coconut Flour Pancake Topping Ideas

These pancakes work with both sweet and savoury toppings.

For a sweet breakfast, try:

• Butter and berries
• Cream and berries
• Greek yogurt and berries
• A drizzle of your favourite low carb syrup
• Nut butter

For a savoury breakfast or lunch, try:

• Avocado
• Cream cheese
• Eggs
• Smoked salmon
• Your favourite savoury vegetables

You can also use the pancakes as a simple base for a savoury meal rather than serving them as a traditional sweet breakfast.
