Happy (belated) Valentine’s Day! I hope you treated someone special (ahem – YOURSELF) to 
a delightful meal and some fun. I made my littlest valentine heart shaped coconut flour pancakes – even my picky eater will eat them!
Here’s the basic recipe for low carb, high fiber coconut flour pancakes. It’s very flexible and I frequently play with the amounts.
- 2-4 TB coconut flour (my recipe usually calls for 2 but depending on the brand, you may need up to 4 TB to thicken the batter)
- 1 egg
- 2 egg whites
- A few drops of maple extract or vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- pinch of each: baking soda, salt
- about a teaspoon of lemon juice (for acidity to react with your baking soda)
- few drops of liquid stevia, or other sweetener of your choice
- If needed, 3 TB milk or non-dairy milk (using Bob’s Red Mill coconut flour you may need additional moisture, using Let’s Do Organic I didn’t need any additional moisture as the batter was too wet.)
Mix and cook over medium heat. For other variations on coconut flour pancakes, check out the Pancake category.
And thank you Smoothie Girl for the much appreciated valentine!
xoxo,
Allie

Yumm those sound delicious! Is there anything I can substitute for lemon juice? I never have lemons handy, and I assume the "lemon concentrate" stuff that comes in those plastic lemon shaped bottles probably wouldn't be the same...
ReplyDeleteHi Allie,
ReplyDeleteYour new pup is precious. :) Your coconut flour pancake recipe is my favorite go-to Sunday morning breakfast.
My valentine let me nibble these!
ReplyDeleteiheartveggies - I, ahem, actually used the bottled stuff. It has its place in my kitchen...
Heather - puppy is soooooo cute! I'm so glad you like the pancakes. I've been mixing coconut flour with chickpea flour - YUM.
Aww, you're welcome- your valentine goodies contained coconut flour too!
ReplyDeleteThese look super yummy and I didn't know about lemon and baking soda? Must google that!
What cute little heart shaped pancakes! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI really like this idea... I recently found the health benefits of coconut and did a blogpost about it! Add pancakes to the list! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSo this doesn't relate to this pancake post in any way, but I just wanted to say that I am also miserably allergic to dairy (both lactose and casein, shoot me), which only got worse when I got mono (again, bullet -> head), but after I was done with the six months of post-mono "you are prohibited from doing any actual exercise", and subsequent dissolution of my muscles, I went on a hunt for a good non-dairy protein shake. Thankfully, one of my football-playing guy friends is equally lactarded and he recommended Jay Robb Egg White Protein. Its seriously great, to the point where I put it in milkshakes whether or not i'm working out (ive also baked with it). Anyway, just figured I'd throw it out there since I hadnt see you use any on the blog
ReplyDeleteYour recipe looks great! I want to make pancakes like that.
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty cute, but I could see my self using the same recipe and making a massive one instead. Infact I'll give it a go!
ReplyDeleteThis is great, I see protein powder mixed with bananas, milk and even porrage but never pancakes ! Brilliant idea.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the winderful blog posts !
