CARB NITE RECIPE (LOW CARB): COCONUT FLOUR PANCAKES

COCONUT FLOUR PANCAKES

Ingredients

• 4 eggs room temperature
• 1 cup coconut milk OR 1/4 cup whole milk,
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)
• stevia,
• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• olive oil (you can use coconut oil or butter for frying)

Directions

• Preheat frying pan over medium-low heat. In a small bowl beat eggs until frothy, about two minutes. Mix in milk, vanilla, and  stevia.
• In a medium-sized bowl combine coconut flour, baking soda, and salt and mix together. Stir 3/4 of wet mixture into dry until coconut flour is incorporated. Allow to sit for 3-5 minutes.
• At this stage your batter should be thick, almost like brownie batter. If it is still fairly thick and dry add the rest of the wet mixture.
• Grease pan with butter or 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.
• Serve hot with yogurt, butter or fruit.
