Coconut Pancakes



So I found this great recipe for coconut pancakes on www.examiner.com. I tried a couple of coconut flour pancake recipes and they just didn't turn out right. They are a different texture than what you are used to but they were crispy, fluffy and with some Enjoy Life chocolate chips and pecans they were delicious!! They also are more on the lower carb side and with the coconut oil it gets you some much needed essential fats. So easy to make too! Here is the link: http://www.examiner.com/x-20151-Manchester-Gluten-Free-Examiner~y2009m8d31-Gluten-Free-Pancakes-Using-Coconut-Flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 T oil
  • 2 T yogurt or 2 T milk (any kind)
  • 1 t agave or 2 t sugar or honey
  • 1/2 t vanilla extract
  • ¼ t salt
  • 1/4 C coconut flour
  • ¼ t baking powder
  • 1/4 t cinnamon
Directions:
  1. Heat enough oil or butter to lightly coat cooking surface. 
  2. Blend together eggs, oil, yogurt or milk, agave, vanilla, and salt. Combine coconut flour with baking powder and add a 1/3 of the dry ingredients at a time, whisking thoroughly as you go.  If the batter appears too thick, add a bit of milk (a little goes a long way).  If it's too runny, add a bit of coconut flour (again, a little goes a long way).
  3. Spoon batter onto hot skillet making pancakes about 2 ½ to 3 inches in diameter.  Makes 5 - 6 pancakes.
These are light, fluffy, and totally delicious! A warning - they seem to burn easily. Watch them carefully and you will be rewarded! Also, because they are quite delicate, top with fruit rather than adding it right into the batter.
