Ingredients
Scale
1/2 cup coconut flour
4 large eggs
1/4 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 of your preferred low-carb sweetener
Instructions
Whisk the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. If using sweetener, add it now.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk until just combined. The batter will be thick.
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.
Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly grease it with coconut oil or butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle. You may need to gently spread the batter slightly with the back of your spoon, as it will not spread on its own like traditional batter.
Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until the edges look set and bubbles start to form. Flip carefully.
Cook the second side for another 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, like berries or sugar-free syrup.
Notes
For extra fluffiness, separate the egg whites and whip them to soft peaks before gently folding them into the batter at the very end.
If the batter seems too thick after resting, add an extra splash of almond milk (1 teaspoon at a time) until you reach a thick but pourable consistency.
These pancakes are naturally grain-free and keto-friendly, making them a great low-carb breakfast idea.
