These coconut flour low carb pancakes are my go to when I want a quick, fluffy breakfast that still fits my low carb routine. They are lightly sweet, naturally gluten free, and made with a short ingredient list, which is exactly what I need on busy mornings.
If you want a cozy breakfast that keeps you on track, this one is it. Soft, golden, and genuinely satisfying, with simple ingredients you probably already have at home.
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- 3 tablespoons coconut milk (or other low carb milk)
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- Sweetener to taste (erythritol, xylitol, stevia)
How to Prepare
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, and melted coconut oil.
- Add the coconut flour, baking powder, vanilla, salt, and sweetener. Mix well.
- Let the batter sit for 2 to 3 minutes to thicken (coconut flour absorbs quickly).
- If the batter feels too thick, add 1 more tablespoon of milk.
- Heat a non stick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with a bit of coconut oil.
- Scoop small portions of batter into the pan (1 to 2 tablespoons per pancake).
- Cook until edges are set and bubbles appear, then flip carefully.
- Cook the other side for 1 to 2 more minutes until golden.
