I recently bought some Coconut Flour over the internet. The stuff smells incredible and the nutritional profile of the flour is fantastic. The flour is very high in fiber also which is another good thing.
Anyway here’s a recipe for Coconut Flour Pancakes:
Ingredients:
2 egg whites
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup almond milk (I use Almond Breeze Unsweetened Almond Milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
Equal (1-2 packets) or any other sweetener you prefer
Instructions:
Combine all ingredients and stir until thoroughly combined. (Be patient as this may take a few minutes.) Heat a greased nonstick skillet over medium high heat for a minute or two. (You want the pan to be completely pre-heated so the first pancakes cooks correctly.) Pour desired amount of batter onto skillet (I used two tablespoons to make medium-sized pancakes), and cook until golden, a few minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter, re-greasing (or spraying with cooking spray) between each pancake.
These came out great and the aroma/flavor of the coconut flour is unbelievable! Give these a try and post if you like them or not.
Coconut flour is produced by drying fresh coconut meat, removing most of the oil, and grinding the defatted meat into a powder. The resulting flour is very high in fiber and low in digestible carbohydrates, giving it a low glycemic index also.
I forgot to add you need to add mineral water to this recipe to achieve a pancake batter consistency because without it , the mixture turns into a dough.

That’s what i was trying to do but they kind of fell apart on me after i added more mineral water for some reason. So not too much or too little you have to play with it.
