Coconut Flour Pancake Recipe Uk

These coconut flour pancakes are what breakfast dreams are made of. Just a few simple ingredients come together to make fluffy and tender gluten free pancakes perfect for any morning of the week.

IT’S OFFICIALLY FALL, Y’ALL. And I could not be more excited about it. The leaves, the crisp-cool air, the apple and pumpkin picking, the scarves and coats and sleepy weekend mornings in cozy sweaters and slippers… and these pancakes. So much yes.

To be honest, I’m not much of a pancake girl. I’ll almost always choose waffles over pancakes any day — unless they are these fluffy coconut flour pancakes. These pancakes might actually trump any waffles I’ve ever had (and even these pancakes, which have brie on them (!!)). So you know they’re good.

Fluffy Coconut Pancakes

Even the little one likes munching on them, and I know this because while I was photographing these pancakes, she kept grabbing for the extras until I gave her one and she ran off with it. Then she proceeded to eat the whole thing — well, minus the crumbs that she scattered all over the living room. And the dining room. And the kitchen. Not cool, baby. Not cool.

But the mess was all worth it, because for the next couple of mornings we had fluffy pancakes to enjoy for breakfast. I’ve been trying to experiment more with alternative flours, and while I know I have approximately a billion flours to try, I really love baking and cooking with coconut flour. It works like a dream in pancakes. It’s light, airy, almost powdery, and it gives these pancakes a distinct coconut flavor that I can’t get enough of.

Of course, like most any alternative flour, coconut flour beats to its own drum (I HIGHLY recommend using Bob’s Red Mill’s coconut flour for this recipe). The pancakes should be slightly smaller in diameter than you’d normally make them — so, somewhere between the size of a regular pancake and silver dollar-style ones — otherwise, it’s difficult to flip the delicate pancakes over. Also, they can burn quickly, so keep a close eye on them as they cook. The extra eggs in the batter help the pancakes hold together, as coconut flour’s delicate nature requires the added binding. All told, these pancakes taste like clouds of coconut bliss topped with maple syrup and love.

And while coconut may not be quintessentially fall, I can’t help but see myself making and eating these pancakes for the next few weekends’ breakfasts — in my slippers and cozy sweater, of course.These Coconut Flour Pancakes are amazingly fluffy and naturally gluten-free. I love how quick and easy they are to prepare, and since they are made with coconut flour, they have more fiber and protein than traditional pancake recipes, too. They should keep you feeling satisfied for hours!

Making these pancakes is as easy as making any other pancake recipe. All you need to keep in mind is that coconut flour does require a precise, level measurement. I like to dip the measuring cup into the flour, then use the back of a knife to level off the top, removing any excess flour from the top. (You can see how I do this in the recipe video towards the bottom of this post.)

After that, you’ll just stir the handful of ingredients together in a large bowl, and then cook the pancakes in a greased skillet. Just like any other pancake recipe, it’s important to use medium-low heat so that the outside of the pancake doesn’t burn before the inside of the pancake is cooked.

Coconut Flour Recipes

Not surprisingly, coconut flour has a flavor similar to dried unsweetened coconut. The flavor isn’t overwhelming in this pancake recipe, especially if you serve it with fruit or maple syrup on top, but I do think you can taste a hint of coconut.

Do not be tempted to make substitutions with this recipe. Coconut flour is a very unique ingredient, in the fact that it’s very high in fiber and requires more eggs than other recipes for structure. If you want a recipe using regular flour, I’d start with a recipe that calls for the type of flour you have on hand.

I also don’t recommend trying to use a flax egg as an egg substitute in this recipe. Coconut flour really works best with real eggs, but you might try one of the vegan recipes above for an egg-free option.

Paleo Coconut Flour Pancakes

If you’re following a low-carb or grain-free diet, coconut flour makes a pretty good choice. Two tablespoons of coconut flour has only 4 “net carbs, ” making it a low-carb choice compared to the 12 grams of net carbs found in two tablespoons wheat flour.

I’ve included notes to make this recipe sugar-free, by using a sugar-free syrup of your choice. If you make the pancakes this way, they are keto-friendly and have only 1 gram of net carbs per pancake.

These Coconut Flour Pancakes are amazingly fluffy and naturally gluten-free. They're a great low-carb alternative to traditional pancakes, with extra protein and fiber to help keep you feeling satisfied.

Many of you have tried my almond cream cheese keto pancakes. They are one of the most popular recipes on my website. That's why I thought it was time to add a coconut flour recipe!

You might know that I already have a coconut flour pancakes recipe on my site, these fluffy coconut pancakes. The secret to their fluffiness is that you beat the egg whites until stiff, which traps the air inside. They also contain a fair amount of fat (hello, fans of the Keto diet!). This means they also work very well in a waffle maker.

Whilst I still love that recipe, I wanted to try an easier and lighter version this time. If you ever try both, I'd love to hear how you think they compare!

Coconut flour is a flour made from dried coconut meat. It is low in carbs, high in fiber, gluten-free, grain-free and a good source of protein. This means it's a perfect grain free flour and suitable for the keto diet.

Coconut is technically a fruit and not a nut, which means coconut flour is also generally safe for people with tree nut allergies. (Although, do check if you're cooking or baking for anyone with a nut allergy!)

Gluten Free Coconut Pancakes With Banana And Agave

Another great thing about coconut flour is that a little goes a long way. Low carb baking ingredients can be expensive, and coconut flour is one of the less pricey options around.

The funny thing about coconut flour is that is behaves totally different from other low carb flours. Almond flour, sesame flour or sunflower seed flour are pretty much interchangeable.

But coconut flour? No way. If you use too much, your end product is dry. Too little, and it ends up crumbly. Coconut flour likes lots of eggs, way more than other flours require. And you'll need a lot less of it, between ⅓ to ½ the amount of almond flour, because it soaks up liquid like the Sahara.

Thick & Fluffy Coconut Flour Pancakes

In terms of pancakes, coconut flour needs more than just eggs to be happy. Popular additions to coconut pancake batters are banana or applesauce, which both balance out the dryness of the flour. Of course, these are Paleo options and not low in carbs. Keto versions like to increase the amount of fat by using cream cheese, heavy cream or plenty of butter or coconut oil (as I did in my original recipe I mentioned above).

It took me a few tries to get this pancake recipe just right. I reduced the amount of fat to 2 tablespoons and added almond milk to the batter. The third time round I knew I had finally nailed it: Moist, fluffy, light pancakes - perfect for a weekend (or weekday!) breakfast!

A quick overview of the ingredients: We've got coconut flour, eggs, coconut oil, almond milk, baking powder, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
