Fluffy Coconut Pancakes

Got this recipe from Jess and just had to share! It is the first paleo pancake recipe I've tried that actually tastes like a pancake! So so good. I made the same subs that Jess suggested, but here is the link to the original recipe from Nourishing Days: http://www.nourishingdays.com/2010/07/fluffy-coconut-flour-pancakes/

I used coconut milk and left out the honey/stevia and added a couple pinches of cinnamon instead. I also added a little extra coconut flour to thicken the batter and topped them with honey, walnuts and blueberries. I can't wait to make these again!


Ingredients
4 eggs, room temperature
1 cup milk (raw cow’s or coconut both work)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon honey or a pinch of stevia
1/2 cup coconut flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
coconut oil or butter for frying

Directions
  1. Preheat griddle over medium-low heat. In a small bowl beat eggs until frothy, about two minutes. Mix in milk, vanilla, and honey or stevia.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl combine coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt and whisk together. Stir wet mixture into dry until coconut flour is incorporated.
  3. Grease pan with butter or coconut oil. Ladle a few tablespoons of batter into pan for each pancake. Spread out slightly with the back of a spoon. The pancakes should be 2-3 inches in diameter and fairly thick. Cook for a few minutes on each side, until the tops dry out slightly and the bottoms start to brown. Flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
  4. Serve hot with butter, coconut oil, honey, syrup, or fruit.
