Coconut flour pancakes

coconut flour pancakes

I almost feel a little bit guilty when I have pancakes for breakfast. I always associated pancakes as a treat. Something my grandmother would make when I came over or something you would eat on a special occasion. But never pancakes where something I thought of as breakfast. Of course, when I travelled some more I learned that indeed in many parts of the world, pancakes are the most common thing on the menu. But for me it still feels as an indulgence. So when I do eat a pancake at breakfast or brunch, I try to make a healthier version. And that is how I ended up with these coconut flour pancakes.

Coconut flour has a natural sweetness and has a lot of protein. But because coconut flour is a little bit grainy you can’t just replace is with normal flour in a recipe, because you will end up with a dense batter.  So my coconut pancakes are made with normal flour and coconut flour. After mixing the batter it is important to let is rest for 10 minutes. In this time the batter will set and be a smooth batter that is easy to bake.

This recipe makes for pancakes which are rich in protein. So you will not feel hungry any time soon after eating these pancakes. Because the pancakes are packed with protein these pancakes are also very good to eat on training days.

If you are a coconut fan, like me, you can top these pancakes with some fresh fruit and extra toasted coconut flakes. And if you are not counting calories go ahead and make it a bounty pancake with a lot of gooey chocolate, mjam mjam mjam.
