Low carb coconut flour pancakes – NO banana + grain free

I love low carb baking especially coconut flour recipes: my coconut flour crepes has been my all time favorite breakfast until this new coconut flour pancake recipe ! it is amazing how many delicious recipes you can create using healthy low carb flours. Most people believe that a low carb diet is restrictive and boring but I don’t agree. I never feel so happy since I made the big switch 5 years ago.

It take time and you have to bake your own food to enjoy low carb baking but it so worth it. Those low carb coconut flour pancakes are the best way to tun any pancakes lovers into low carb eating. They are the fluffiest pancakes I ever made and even my kids prefer this recipe to their regular wheat pancakes. Plus, those low carb coconut flour pancakes are made in 10 minutes in a blender with only few wholesome ingredients, so let is try this.

Note: recipe has been updated on 19 January 2019 as many struggled baking with coconut flour. I now recommend to use guar gum, no apple cider vinegar and full fat coconut milk from the can for perfect result each time! So all you need are:

Coconut flour – make sure you use fresh coconut flour with no lumps or for perfect result weight the flour in grams (not cup) to make sure you are using the right amount. Coconut flour is high in fiber and if stored for long, it creates lumps.
Baking soda
Guar gum
Vanilla essence
Full fat canned coconut milk – minimum 18 g fat per 100 g
Coconut oil
Salt
Vanilla essence
Eggs

One bowl blender recipe

I love this recipe because it is a 10 minute blender recipe. It is so easy to blend a batch of those in the weekend for family breakfast. If you don’t have a blender, you can also use an electric beater. A manual whisk, can work too but sift the coconut flour before weighting to make sure there is absolutely no lumps. Coconut flour lumps are more difficult to break without an electric tool and the recipe won’t work as well if there is lumps.

Fluffy pancakes: use a non stick crepe pan or griddle

To make my pancakes extra fluffy without using any dairy I use apple cider vinegar, almond milk and baking soda. All together it gives a delicious fluffy coconut flour pancake texture without using any cream cheese or banana.

To make sure those fluffy pancakes are easy to flip over I recommend you use a non stick crepe pan or non stick pancake griddle. They will cook perfectly in one of those. Always slightly grease the pan surface with a piece of absorbent paper covered with coconut oil. If you add too much oil, the batter will fry it won’t be as fluffy and delicious.

Sugar free Toppings ideas

I usually don’t sweeten my pancake batter. I simply add vanilla extract and add the sweet toppings on top.

Sugar free toppings that I recommend are :

Unsweetened almond butter or peanut butter,
Combo of berries like raspberries, strawberries and blueberries, unsweetened
Sugar free liquid sweetener made of Monk fruit sugar, there is no carbs, no sugar in this sweetener. I am using this brand here.
Unsweetened shredded coconut or coconut chips – I like to toast mine in a frying pan for few minutes to add extra flavor
Cinnamon – sprinkle some cinnamon add a naturally sweet flavor
Coconut cream – a dollop of fresh whipped coconut cream with few drops of vanilla stevia drops is delicious
