Coconut flour pancakes with lemon butter
Naturally sweet and full of protein and fibre.
These delightfully fluffy coconut flour pancakes are a healthy breakfast or brunch for anyone eating a low carb, paleo, SCD, gluten or nut-free diet. For those not following a specific diet, there’s absolutely no reason why you won’t love them too!
Coconut flour is exactly what it sounds —flour that’s made from ground coconut pulp. We show you how to make it at home here. It’s a fantastic substitute for regular wheat flour. It has great texture, is high in protein and fibre and is naturally sweeter than other flours. If you are new to baking with coconut flour, there are a few things you need to know before you set out to make these pancakes.
Coconut flour is not like any other gluten free flour. It’s very dry so recipes require a lot of liquid ingredients to compensate. Plenty of eggs are essential for binding. With all that liquid and no gluten, coconut flour pancakes are delicate. They’re super easy to make but flipping them can be tricky. We recommend making them small, so that it's easy to turn them.
The batter can be whipped up by hand but a burst in the Vibe Blender jug creates an aerated, fine consistency that can’t be achieved with elbow power alone.
The brand of coconut flour you use, the fat content in your coconut milk and the size of the eggs all contribute to batter inconsistencies. Don’t be too worried if it seems too thin. After blending, allow the batter to rest for a few minutes for the coconut flour to fully absorb the liquid and thicken up.
