Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, sift the coconut flour to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth batter consistency.
- Crack the eggs into the bowl with the coconut flour and whisk thoroughly until well combined and no dry spots remain.
- Pour in the almond milk and continue whisking to create a smooth, uniform mixture.
- Add honey, baking powder, and salt to the batter. Mix completely until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Let the batter rest for 3-5 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb the liquid and prevent overly dense pancakes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with coconut oil or butter.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, carefully pour batter onto the heated surface, creating pancakes about 3-4 inches in diameter.
- Cook pancakes for 2-3 minutes on the first side, watching for small bubbles to form on the surface.
- Gently flip the pancakes and cook an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve warm with optional toppings like fresh berries, maple syrup, or additional honey.
Tips
- Sift the Coconut Flour: Make sure to sift the coconut flour before mixing it with other ingredients. This helps eliminate lumps and ensures a smooth batter, resulting in fluffier pancakes.
- Whisk Thoroughly: When combining the eggs and coconut flour, whisk until there are no dry spots left. This is crucial for a uniform texture and flavor throughout the pancakes.
- Let the Batter Rest: Allow the batter to sit for 3-5 minutes after mixing. This gives the coconut flour time to absorb the liquid, which helps prevent dense pancakes.
- Control the Heat: Cook your pancakes on medium-low heat to avoid burning. This ensures they cook evenly and develop a beautiful golden-brown color.
- Use a Non-Stick Surface: A non-stick skillet or griddle is key to achieving perfectly cooked pancakes without sticking. Lightly greasing it with coconut oil or butter adds flavor and prevents sticking.
- Watch for Bubbles: Keep an eye on your pancakes as they cook. When small bubbles form on the surface, it’s time to flip them for that perfect golden finish.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a touch of extra honey can elevate your pancakes to a whole new level.
