Make light, airy coconut flour pancakes that are naturally gluten-free and keto-friendly. This simple recipe delivers a fluffy stack perfect for a quick, healthy morning meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or dairy-free milk)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter (plus more for the griddle)
  • Optional: 1-2 tablespoons granulated keto-friendly sweetener

Instructions

  1. Combine the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If using sweetener, add it now.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk until just combined. The batter will be thick.
  4. Stir in the melted coconut oil or butter. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes; this allows the coconut flour to absorb the liquid, which helps create fluffier pancakes.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. You want the surface hot enough that a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  6. Pour batter onto the hot griddle, using about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Because coconut flour pancakes do not spread much, you may need to gently shape them with the back of your spoon.
  7. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip carefully and cook the second side until golden brown.
  8. Serve your gluten free pancake stack immediately with your favorite sugar-free toppings.

Notes

  • For extra fluffiness, separate the eggs. Whisk the yolks with the wet ingredients, then whip the egg whites to soft peaks and gently fold them into the batter last.
  • If the batter seems too thick after resting, add 1 tablespoon of extra almond milk at a time until you reach a pourable consistency.
  • These pancakes freeze well. Cool completely, then stack with parchment paper between layers and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to one month. Reheat in a toaster or microwave.
