What are Coconut Flour Pancakes?

Simple Tips to Make Perfect Coconut Flour Pancakes (That Don’t Fall Apart!)

Coconut flour pancakes are delicious, low in carbs, and a great keto-friendly breakfast. But because coconut flour is gluten-free and very absorbent, it behaves differently than traditional flour — and if you’re not careful, your pancakes might turn out dry or fall apart. These tips will help you make perfect, fluffy pancakes every time:

• Let the batter rest for 5 minutes: Coconut flour soaks up liquid quickly. Letting the batter sit helps it thicken and gives you a better idea of its consistency. If it looks too thick after resting, simply add 1–2 tablespoons of almond milk.
• Use a non-stick skillet: Coconut flour batter is delicate, so a good non-stick skillet is essential for easy flipping. This one is a great option.
• Try a pancake spatula: These wide spatulas are super helpful for gently flipping fragile pancakes without breaking them. This pancake spatula makes a big difference if you’re struggling with regular spatulas.
• Make smaller pancakes: The smaller the pancake, the easier it is to flip without breaking. Aim for 3–4 inch rounds for best results.
• Cook over medium heat: Too much heat will cause the outside to cook too quickly, while the inside remains underdone. Medium heat gives a nice even cook.
• Gently flip: Always lift and flip the pancakes slowly and carefully to keep their shape.
• Blender shortcut: If you’re short on time, you can prepare the batter in a blender like this one. Just let the batter rest afterward as coconut flour will still need some that time to absorb the liquid.
• Use the right binders: Because coconut flour doesn’t contain gluten, it needs help holding together. In this recipe, I use eggs and cream cheese — both of which act as natural binders. You can also add a pinch of xanthan gum for extra structure to be on the safe side.

Follow these tips and you’ll end up with soft, fluffy, and sturdy keto coconut flour pancakes that will not crumble!

How Do You Make these Low Carb Pancakes Fluffier?
