Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted, plus more for cooking
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup (optional, omit for Whole30)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, beat 6 large eggs well. Add 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk, 2 tbsp melted, plus more for cooking coconut oil, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 2 tbsp pure maple syrup (optional, omit for Whole30) (if using), and whisk until smooth.

  2. 2

    Add 1/2 cup coconut flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt. Whisk until smooth and no lumps remain. Let batter rest 2 minutes - it will thicken as the coconut flour absorbs liquid.

  3. 3

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly coat with coconut oil.

  4. 4

    Drop heaping tablespoons of batter (about 2 tbsp each) onto the skillet. Use the back of a spoon to spread each pancake to about 3 inches wide. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until small bubbles form and the edges look dry.

  5. 5

    Flip carefully and cook for another 2 minutes until golden on the second side. These pancakes are more delicate than wheat pancakes - use a thin spatula and flip only once.

  6. 6

    Serve warm with fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, or maple syrup.
