Gluten Free Coconut Flour Pancakes Recipe

photo by recipe author

Servings: 4
Preparation Time: 15 minutes

1 cup coconut flour
8 eggs
1 1/2 cups (+ possibly 1/2 cup, more) milk of your choice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons raw honey
1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1. Mix all dry ingredients, except for baking soda, together in a medium size bowl. Mix wet ingredients, except for vinegar, and add to dry ingredients. Let sit for a few minutes.

2. After batter has hydrated, add just enough extra liquid to make a batter that's too thick to spread by itself. Add in baking soda and vinegar and mix just until incorporated.

3. Using an ice cream scoop, plop batter onto a greased or oiled skillet, spread out batter, and cook for a few minutes per side (until browned on both sides of pancake).

4. Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

This looks good, but does the taste of apple cider vinegar come through? Otherwise, this looks really delicious.

Beth, I haven't made these yet but doubt it would. It's a tiny amount in order to work with the baking soda as a rising agent. You can make sure to pour the vinegar right on the baking soda making a nice little fizz. I use this often as a rising agent and have never tasted the vinegar in the final product. Will try these soon myself.

I agree with Beth, looks great, but anytime I add Apple Cider Vinegar to anything, that's all I taste. Couldn't you just skip it?

I think I might even add some coconut flakes to this as well, Going to try it tomorrow morning.

Can I use this to make waffles?

Just made them and the kids gobbled them up. My daughter is allergic to a multitude of foods but this recipe was good. A lot of my gluten-free bread recipes call for a half teaspoon of vinegar and you don't taste it.

Why are there so many eggs in the recipe???? That's the only reason I hesitate to make it. 3/4 of a dozen eggs is a bit much with only 1 cup of flour...

Because coconut flour is so dense and you use (compared to gluten flours) much less of it, you need the eggs to provide the body and make it look like a normal gluten product. That's what I keep reading - and in this case they make the pancakes have a nice high protein content as well, so they are doubly good for you.

Coconut flour needs a LOT of moisture, thus the many eggs!

Will this recipe work with 4 whole eggs and 4 egg whites? Is it just the moisture from the egg, or do you need that much fat from the yolk?

Im with Jackie, I understand needing the eggs but isn't it unhealthy using that many?

When making the pancakes or any cake, etc with coconut flour, you're not eating all those eggs at once. Consider a serving similar to 1-2 eggs. You have to use a lot of eggs with coconut flour, it is so dense you'd end up choking on it if you didn't bc it would be so dry. And adding a liquid like coconut milk cannot be used solely. You can use a combo, but you will always need a lot of eggs, yolk and all. I can tell you as living proof, I have been eating this way for about 5 years and I get my blood work checked twice a year if that helps any, my cholesterol and triglycerides were normal, hdl and ldl were all normal. HTH any

Try not to believe everything your government tells you is good/bad for you. I know its counterintuitive to the philosophies of the FDA, AMA, AHA and all those great organizations that would love to keep you sick and dependent, but EAT ALL THE EGGS YOU WANT! well pastured eggs, factory eggs really aren't good for you. How bout we increase the coconut flour and add an even dozen eggs?!
