Keto-Friendly Coconut Flour Pancakes: Fluffy, Delicious, and Low-Carb!

Calling all keto enthusiasts and pancake lovers! Craving a satisfying breakfast that fits your keto lifestyle? Look no further than these incredible keto-friendly coconut flour pancakes. They’re fluffy, flavorful, and incredibly easy to make, making them perfect for busy mornings or weekend brunches.

Ingredients:

• ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut flour (measure carefully!)
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons granulated sweetener of your choice (e.g., erythritol, stevia, allulose)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk or water, additional as needed

Instructions:

1. Whisk the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Ensure there are no lumps in the coconut flour.
   
   
2. Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, sweetener, and vanilla extract until well combined.
   
   
3. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until a smooth batter forms. The batter will be thick, so don’t be alarmed.
4. Adjust the consistency: If the batter seems too thick, add a tablespoon of almond milk or water at a time, whisking well after each addition, until the batter reaches a pourable consistency. Remember, coconut flour absorbs a lot of liquid, so start slow and add more only if necessary.
5. Heat the pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Once hot, lightly grease the pan with butter or coconut oil.
6. Cook the pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the preheated skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to set. Gently flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
   
   
7. Serve and enjoy! Serve your delicious keto-friendly coconut flour pancakes warm with your favorite toppings. Here are some keto-friendly topping suggestions:

• Sugar-free maple syrup
• Fresh berries
• Whipped cream
• Chopped nuts
• Nut butter

Tips:

• Don’t overmix the batter: Overmixing can lead to tough pancakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
• Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest for 5 minutes allows the coconut flour to absorb the moisture, resulting in thicker and fluffier pancakes.
• Use a small spatula: A small spatula will help you easily flip the pancakes without breaking them.
• Control the portion size: These pancakes are filling, so start with one or two and adjust your intake based on your individual needs and preferences.

With these tips and tricks, you’ll be whipping up fluffy, delicious, and keto-friendly coconut flour pancakes in no time! Enjoy!
