Coconut Flour Pancakes – Gluten Free, Paleo

Weekends are the perfect time for pancakes! This recipe for Coconut Flour Pancakes is a keeper. They are super fluffy and packed with protein. Gluten Free!

There’s something about pancakes that just sings the weekend, am I right?

Nobody makes pancakes on a Monday morning.

Their delicious, cakey goodness are almost always reserved for leisurely weekend breakfasts when one has the time to slice up some fresh fruit, brew a pot of coffee, and savour the experience.

COCONUT FLOUR PANCAKES

Well, maybe that’s just me because I love food.

I don’t think I’m alone though.

Eating tops a lot of people’s lists as their favourite thing to do. 🙂

So for this weekend, I thought I’d roll with Coconut Flour Pancakes.

I use a bunch of eggs in these so they are packed with complete protein and using coconut milk makes these pancakes pretty decadent, while keeping them paleo friendly, if that’s your thing.

I picked up a few paleo habits when I did the Whole 30 but of course the allure of my beloved cheese keeps me from claiming full paleo status. Oh well.

I’m not big on labels anyways. 😉

TIPS FOR MAKING COCONUT FLOUR PANCAKES:

Working with coconut flour isn’t quite the same thing as traditional wheat flours, so don’t be scared if the batter looks a little more yellow and grainy than how you may be used to batter looking.

Don’t over mix the coconut flour batter either.

Lumps aren’t really a bad thing when it comes to these pancakes. Just make sure the flour is incorporated and put down the spoon.

This will help with the fluffiness.

I make six large pancakes out of this recipe, and it is more than plenty for the two of us.

You could easily make twelve smaller pancakes, slice up a ton of  fresh fruit, pour on the maple syrup and you’ve got an awesome breakfast for four.

Try them next weekend! 🙂
