Coconut Pancakes


I discovered coconut flour the other day, so of course I immediately bought it with these in mind! They came out kinda crumbly because I did not have any milk, so I used plain yogurt and a little water instead... But they still tasted good. I thought they tasted great even without any toppings! 

Warning: Coconut flour does have some natural sugar in it, so its ok to use it every once in a while, but not all the time, since it's not really sugar free.


Recipe:

(Creates 1 Serving)

1/2 Cup Coconut Flour 
1/2 Cup Brown Rice Flour
3 Large Eggs
½ Cup Almond Milk 
1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
¼ Cup Salted Almonds
¼ Cup Raw Unsweetened Cacao Nibs
1 Tablespoon Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
1 Tablespoon Raw Unsweetened Cacao Powder
1/2 Tablespoon Cinnamon
1 Tablespoon Xylitol
1 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla
Salted Butter (to grease the pan, and can also be used to top the pancakes with when they're done)


Directions: 

Beat the eggs, almond milk, coconut oil, cacao powder, vanilla, and both kinds of flour in a bowl until there are no lumps of flour. Then mix in almonds, cacao nibs, coconut flakes, cinnamon, xylitol, and salt. 

Grease a large pan with butter and coconut oil. Use 2 large spoonfuls of the mixture for each pancake. When small bubbles start to appear in the middle and the edges seem to be kind of hardened, flip the pancakes over and brown on the other side. 

Serve with a cup of almond milk, and sprinkle salt, xylitol, and cinnamon onto each individual pancake. And/or butter the pancakes. Or eat them plain; they're still delicious :) 

Cheater additions: I added few drops of maple flavored agave sweetener on some of the finished pancakes. It wasn't really necessary though, I really liked the flavor the vanilla and coconut flour added! 




I thought the mixture looked kinda beautiful before I added in the cinnamon, nuts, and cacao powder. :)












Mixture once cacao powder, nuts, and cinnamon were added.
