Gluten Free Ricotta Pancakes Recipe With Coconut Flour – Easy Low Carb, High Protein, Sugar Free & Keto friendly pancake adapted from a Nigella Lawson recipe.
Gluten Free Ricotta Pancakes
These gluten free ricotta pancakes are adapted from a Nigella Lawson recipe.
I’ve swapped the flour for coconut flour and the pancakes are still perfectly fluffy, even without the gluten. You only need a quarter of a cup of coconut flour to create well formed pancakes.
The secret to the lightness of these pancakes is the separate whisking of the egg whites.
You don’t even have to whisk them until they are thickened, just a bit foamy and they provide plenty of lightness to the pancakes.
You can use whatever milk you usually include in your diet. For low carb, keto friendly pancakes, be sure to use almond milk or your low carb friendly milk of choice.
I find that homemade chia jam and a swirl of whipped cream are my pancake toppings of choice and complement the fluffy pancakes perfectly. You could also choose from my list of 20 perfect pancake toppings.
