- Are you guys ready for another pancake recipe?
If this is your first time here,
welcome to a mom cooks type of channel.
My kids love pancakes and today's recipe
for coconut flour pancakes is one that I love to eat
with them and they actually enjoy eating.
Because there are times where I'm strict paleo
or eating very low carb or I cycle
or just when I need a really clean pancake recipe,
this is it.
Now below this video I am gonna have some resources for you,
like the printed recipe for these pancakes,
my clean eating guide for families,
and all that shindig because if you're eating clean
it doesn't mean that you have to give up
on your favorite recipes like weekend pancakes.
So let's get started.
We're going to make this pancake batter in a blender
because I love using a blender for this recipe
because my milk and eggs, it absorbs with the coconut flour.
And I'm going to tell you all about those substitutes.
So I know you have a lot of questions.
If this is the first time making coconut flour pancakes,
they're going to come out awesome and epic.
I'm gonna make sure of that.
So into my blender I'm going to put milk.
Now I'm using coconut milk today,
but if you don't have a dairy allergy,
you can use regular milk as well.
I've got four eggs here.
Something that you'll notice in a lot
of coconut flour recipes is that you have a lot of eggs.
Eggs provide both volume and liquid
because coconut flour is like 10 times
more absorbent than traditional wheat flour.
So you need to add more liquid in the recipe
for the pancakes to become you know,
cohesive and form actually half texture.
So four eggs are what we're putting in here.
This is not a recipe where you can use an egg substitute
because egg substitutes,
my recommendation is no more than two eggs in a recipe.
So this is not that recipe.
So milk, eggs.
I have a little bit of honey or maple syrup
that you can use to sweeten everything up in here.
If you are doing keto, omit the honey for sure.
I'm also going to add a little bit of vanilla
because vanilla makes my pancakes taste like cake.
The first thing I'm going do is give everything a quick whiz.
(upbeat music)
So up next I'm going to use some baking soda.
This recipe, unlike my traditional pancakes,
has baking soda, not baking powder.
And again, all of the measurements
are going to be right below the video.
Also a tiny bit of salt and coconut flour.
Now I have an entire post on coconut flour substitutes
or what you can use,
but coconut flour is not a one-to-one replacement
for all-purpose flour.
So I don't want you thinking that you can omit
this coconut flour and use traditional flour.
If you're looking for a recipe with traditional flour,
I've got an entire playlist for you.
So this is again, not it.
And we are going to add our coconut flour to our blender.
Now if you don't have a blender,
you could definitely do this in a big bowl.
You would then have to allow your batter to sit
for about five to 10 minutes for the coconut flour
to absorb that liquid.
But the blender though,
the trick is that the blender helps the coconut flour
absorb that liquid and thicken up really quickly.
I want you to come up close and take a quick look
because as you blend it, your batter is thickening up
and you want it to look like this.
All right guys, so let's make these pancakes.
I am using a big griddle,
so I can cook more pancakes at once.
But of course you can totally use a pan for this.
You do want to make sure that is a nonstick surface
and you're either going to spray it or use a stick of butter
and give yourself a little extra grease.
Now of course if you're dairy-free,
you wouldn't be using butter,
you can use coconut or vegetable oil.
And the thing about coconut flour pancakes is that
about two tablespoons in size max is what you want.
You don't want huge coconut flour pancakes.
They're a silver dollar size pancakes.
Now these pancakes do not freeze that well,
so I don't really recommend it.
They do refrigerate.
So if you're making these just for yourself,
you can make the entire batch, put them in the fridge,
and then either microwave them or in the toaster oven.
But I don't recommend freezing them
because they have a lot of eggs,
so the texture does change and then they get spongy.
I did tell you you were gonna make
perfect coconut flour pancakes, right?
Let's flip these over.
(upbeat music)
Now coconut flour pancakes will take a little longer
to cook through, especially since I made them quite thick.
That's why it's really important to make them smaller.
Let's plate these up.
(upbeat music)
All right guys, let's check these out.

These coconut flour pancakes are cooked inside.
Mm, super good.
