Gluten Free/Paleo Coconut Pancakes

IMG_1731.jpg

Happy Pancake Day! I was up bright and early this morning making a feast. Now I’m stuffed and nursing a large, uncomfortable pancake baby, I thought I’d share the recipe. It was my first time cooking with coconut flour, but it was pretty successful (I picked up a family size bag from Costco, along with 1kg of quinoa and enough Franks Buffalo sauce to bathe in it for a year.)

IMG_1733.jpgThis recipe is gluten free and Paleo – although if you’re following Paleo, you shouldn’t drown your pancakes in Greek yoghurt like I did… I don’t follow a gluten free or Paleo diet, but I do like trying the recipes to change up what I eat every now and then. However, you will never, ever get me to eat a ‘raw’ cheesecake. It’s just not cheesecake, okay?

I got the recipe from Nourishing Days and it came out just as expected; the recipe below is adapted to the ingredients I used. The coconut flour does give quite a caky texture to the pancakes, but they were still fluffy and light, just as pancakes should be, with the added bonus of tasting like coconut macaroons.

Ingredients
  1. 4 eggs, room temperature
  2. 1 cup coconut milk
  3. 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  4. 1 tablespoon agave nectar
  5. 1/2 cup coconut flour
  6. 1 teaspooon baking soda
  7. 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  8. coconut oil to fry
Instructions
  1. In a bowl, combine the eggs, coconut milk, vanilla and agave nectar.
  2. In a separate bowl, add the coconut flour, baking soda and sea salt.
  3. Combine the dry and wet ingredients, and mix. The mixture won’t be completely smooth because the coconut flour is so dense, but there should be no visible lumps.
  4. Preheat a tablespoon of coconut oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add ladlefuls of the mixture and fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding or burning. They should take 2-3 minutes on each side.
  5. Once cooked, stack them high and serve them how you like – I love fruit, yoghurt and plenty of syrup.
