Low-carb coconut flour pancakes are delicious easy, healthy fluffy keto pancakes made with coconut flour, 100% grain-free and dairy-free.
I love low carb baking, especially coconut flour-based recipes: my coconut flour crepes have been my all-time favorite breakfast until this new coconut flour pancake recipe!
It’s 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 beg to differ.
I’ve never felt so happy since I made the big switch 5 years ago.
It takes time and you have to bake your own food to enjoy low-carb baking but it’s so worth it. These low-carb coconut flour pancakes are the best way to turn any pancakes, lovers, into low-carb eating.
They are the fluffiest pancakes I’ve ever made and even my kids prefer this recipe to their regular wheat pancakes.
Plus, these low-carb coconut flour pancakes are made in 10 minutes in a blender with only a few wholesome ingredients, so let’s try this.

Note: the recipe has been updated on 19 January 2019 as many struggled baking with coconut flour.  I now recommend using guar gum, no apple cider vinegar and full-fat coconut milk from the can for perfect results each time! So all you need is:
I love this recipe because it’s a 10-minute blender recipe. It’s so easy to blend a batch of these at the weekend for a breakfast with the family. 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 weighing to make sure there are absolutely no lumps.
Coconut flour lumps are more difficult to break out without an electric tool and the recipe wouldn’t work as well if there are lumps.
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 these 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 these.
Always lightly grease the pan surface with a piece of absorbent paper covered with coconut oil. But careful, if you add too much oil, the batter will fry it won’t be as fluffy and delicious.
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 :

I don’t see the apple cider vinegar you have in the video, in the recipe. Is that an error?
It’s optional, you can add 1 teaspoon to help the pancakes raise
I love this low carb pancake recipe! I just added an extra splash of vanilla to remove the eggy taste. Nevertheless, this tastes good!
Great idea! Enjoy the recipes around here, XOXO Carine
Hi Carine,
I did it and it had strong eggie flavor that I don’t like at all.
I am sorry to hear that. Low carb/keto crepes are mainly made of eggs so yes you should expect the eg flavor and that is why it is not for everyone. Enjoy the other recipes on the blog, XOXO Carine
Totally thrown off by everything provided in cups except coconut flour… which is in grams. I don’t keep a scale in my kitchen. The internet has a variety of interpretations. Sounds like maybe 1/2 a cup?
The recipe is in grams and oz (forUS) for precision. I am not providing this recipe in cp simply because too many people are having issue with the recipe measuring in cups. Cups are not precise and it is easy to add too much or too less flour. Coconut flour contains 10 times more fiber than other regular flour which means that a tiny variation of flour on this pancake recipe will make pancakes easily too wet or too dry. That is why this particular recipe is not provided in cups, Enjoy, XOXO Carine.
Yes same here how much coconut flour would I use? I don’t have a scale !! So in cups is it around 1/2 cup?
I don’t provide cups for this recipe as many report fails with volume measurement for this coconut flour pancakes. Weight is the only way to always get them right.
Hi, I attempted to make them today for my birthday breakfast, the butter turned out really thick so I baked it as muffins haha, still pretty good, but coconut milk should have been softened all together with oil 🙂
It is a thicker batter than regular pancakes but it is not as thick as muffin batter. May be you added guar gum and it thicken the batter too much, I don’t know and I am sorry you couldn’t enoy a good pancakes. Next time I would recommend thin the batter with 1 or 2 extra tablespoon coconut milk nd try to cook on your pancake pan. They are so fluffy and good! Happy to know we can make muffin with this tho ! Enjoy the recipes on the blog, XOXO Carine.
Hi
I just wanted to let you know that I made these today and they turned out really well. They tasted great and I can honestly say they are the best low carb pancakes I have tried
ohhh this is SO sweet. Thank you so much. XOXO Carine.
How much of Xantum gum can I use to substitute guar gum?
Both can be used in same amount. Enjoy! Carine
Mine turned out really flat, not sure what I did wrong. They taste good, but they are flat and not fluffy
I am glad you love them! You may have some issue with your raising agent. Maybe add a bit more or make sure it is fresh from the store. Enjoy the keto recipes around here. XOXO Carine.
Hi i found the pancakes a bit eggie in flavour, but the kids loved them. Also used Flax Meal instead of gum (live in a small town, so not available), the texture came out fine.
Yeah! I love when the kid are on board with my recipes. Enjoy the recipe around here. XOXO Carine.
I saw a recipe of yours for Keto coconut tortillas. I can’t find It again? Where can I find it?
Here is the recipe for you but in the future it is pretty simple to find a recipe on my blog. You can search all my recipe through the “recipe tab” in the blog menu bar. From there you can filter on flatbread. Enjoy ! XOXO Carine.
Hey caribe I tried one of your recipes and I loved it but I have
Question about this one can use psyllium-husks rather than guar gum.
Thank you in advance
I am not sure as I did not try this option. It may work. I would be happy to hear back from you if you give this a go! Enjoy the low carb recipes on the blog. XOXO Carine.
was so very excited to finally see a low carb pancake recipe.. however that turned to sheer disappointment when I read the recipe as it has 3.4 g of fat.. Boo!! unfortunately, a year and half ago I had a triple bypass , finding out I have some major heart disease, as well as diabetes. So very limited fat and low carb!!! But I will tell you this recipe looks amazing!!!
I am sorry that you can’t make this recipe following your bypass surgery. I hope you are doing well and enjoy some recipe on the blog. XOXO Carine.
These pancakes look delicious!!Can you use Exanthem gum in place of guar gum?
I have no idea, I never head of this ingredient before … if it has the same properties as guar gum I guess yes! Enjoy the low carb recipes on the blog. XOXO Carine.
Hi,
I can’t use coconut flower due to sensitivity to it. I’m on fodmap. What can I use as a substitute?
You will have to use a different pancake recipe as this one is 100 % coconut flour base it will be a totally different recipe with different ratio if you use another flour. Sorry for that ! Enjoy the blog recipes, XOXO Carine.
Can you repost the old version of the recipe? I thought it was great and didnt need guar gum which I definitely don’t keep in the cabinet
That is ok, the old recipe is simply this recipe without the guar gum. I added this extra ingredients for people who struggle baking with coconut flour, it makes the batter old very well together and no fail everytime. But if you are a good baker, follow the recipe as before, without guar gum and it will come out great. The other tweak I made to the updated recipe is to suggested canned coconut milk instead of almond milk but same here both will be fine, use your fav. I hope it helps. Enjoy the pancakes. XOXO Carine.
Is almond flour and coconut oil replaceable in this recipe?
There i no almond flour in this pancake recipe, only coconut flour so I am not sure I get your request right. If you meant can I sub coconut flour for almond meal by same amount the answer is no. Coconut flour has 4 times more fibre than almond meal it means you will need much more almond meal to create the same pancakes, it will be a very different recipe. XOXO Carine.
Any thoughts on how to make this vegan? I would love to try it but don’t eat eggs!
Unfortunately this one has lots of eggs so I don’t recommend to veganise this recipe. However you can try my vegan crepes for a delicious healthy vegan breakfast or my vegan buckwheat crepes. Enjoy the recipes on the blog. XOXO Carine.
Hi
Can you use this recipe for making Dutch pancakes/poffertjes?
Hi, It is a coconut flour pancakes recipe and I am not sure what is a Dutch pancakes, I never made them before but those are tasty pancakes for breakfast indeed. Enjoy ! XOXO Carine.
Carine, thank you very much! We really enjoyed these fantastic recipes!
Oh thank you for such a beautiful message. It makes me SO happy that you enjoy the pancakes and all the blog recipes. Thanks for following me here. XOXO Carine.
Hey there Carine! Love this recipe! Thanks for sharing!
I’m French as well and going to NZ this january to discover the country!
Quick question on the recipe : Can’t we use Xanthan gum in order to make them stick and not tear apart too easily ?
Thank you!
Amazing! Enjoy your trip to NZ, such a beautiful country. You can but they should not fall apart if you weight the coconut flour and cook them slowly in small size they goes very well. Enjoy the blog recipes. XOXO Carine.
Another winner, Carine! Thanks for sharing your recipes with us from a Canadian fan 🙂
I am so glad you enjoy them! Thanks so much for following me and sharing your lovely feedback on the blog. XOXO Carine from NZ!
