Article Index
Pancakes are such a great weekend breakfast treat. And, it’s great that you don’t have to give them up on a low carb meal plan.
When deciding what kind of alternate low carb flour you are going to use to make pancakes, there is a couple of factors to consider. There are a lot of people with nut allergies who can’t have almonds, so almond flour is out. Sometimes, some of these packaged pancake flour mixes aren’t as keto-friendly as they could be. So it’s important to keep an eye on the ingredients (more on that below).
That’s why thee fluffy coconut flour pancakes are a terrific option for those who need a low carb breakfast recipe that’s also nut-free!
Using coconut flour also results in a lighter texture when compared to those made with almond flour. There also isn’t any nutty flavor from the almonds.
This coconut flour recipe for pancakes is one of my go-to recipes for a fun family Sunday breakfast!
Why Coconut Flour?
Coconut flour looks and feels like regular wheat flour, but that’s where the similarity ends.
It has an appealing coconut scent, and because it is very absorbent, it requires more liquids than you would use to make a regular pancake batter.
A coconut flour pancake recipe also uses more eggs than wheat flour pancakes. If you try substituting eggs with milk or water, your pancake mix will fall apart once it hits the pan.
Aside from its handling, coconut flour has a rich texture and natural sweetness, meaning your keto coconut flour pancakes won’t need a lot of sweetening. It also has a lower glycemic index than traditional flours, making it ideal for keeping your blood sugar down.
Its lack of gluten and rich protein content makes it suitable for anyone on a grain-restrictive diet.
Ingredients
If you tend to bake a lot while on a low carb diet, you might have most of the ingredients on hand to make these coconut flour pancakes.
Scroll to the bottom of this post to find a printable recipe card that has the full list of ingredients you will need to make these fluffy keto pancakes.
Quick Tips:
- Want a less eggy flavor? Instead of using 3 eggs as the recipe calls, omit one egg and use 2 egg whites.
- This pancake batter will be thick. And, the longer it sits, the thicker the batter will get. If you need to thin it out, add a bit more heavy cream. If the batter is too thin, just add a little more coconut flour.
- Need dairy-free options? Use coconut oil instead of butter and almond milk (or coconut milk in carton) instead of heavy cream. To prevent crumbling, add ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum.
Video Tutorial
Here is a quick video tutorial I put together so you all can follow along and we can make these fluffy keto pancakes together! But note that an incorrect measurement is given for butter in the video so use the measurements provided in the ingredient list.
Recipe Instructions
When making keto pancakes with coconut flour, you need to add a bit more liquid and eggs. That’s because the coconut flour absorbs a lot of liquid. However, you don’t want to add too much liquid.
Some may prefer a thinner batter, but it tends to result in flatter pancakes. That’s why I keep my batter on the thick side of things.
I tried using almond milk, but the batter was too thin and resulted in flat hotcakes. However, adding in a thickener resolved that issue. So you can replace the heavy cream with either almond or coconut milk if you also add some xanthan gum for thickening.
Pro Tip: By adding some extra baking powder or a little sparkling water can also make the pancakes much fluffier.
Prepare the Batter
When you are making the batter for this pancake recipe, make sure to combine all of the wet ingredients in a bowl first. Once all of that is combined thoroughly, slowly mix in the dry ingredients. Doing it this way helps avoid nasty lumps in your batter!
The batter should become very thick as the flour absorbs the liquid. You may need to let the mix sit for several minutes before using it to allow it to hydrate first.
Prep Cooking
When it comes time to cook the pancakes, I recommend using an electric griddle with the temperature dial set at 325 °F (163 °C).
Try your best to drop equal amounts of batter onto the hot cooking surface. Use about 3-4 tablespoons of batter for each pancake so you will end up with 8 pancakes. The batter can be poured right onto the cooking surface from a spouted bowl using a rubber spatula to push it out. But if you don’t have a batter bowl, just use a spoon or a ladle.
Final Cooking
The pancakes should be ready to flip when the edges appear dry and the top is bubbling. Use a quick motion to slide the turner spatula under each pancake then give it a flip.
Be careful not to brown the sides too much!
Serving Suggestions
When I make these pancakes for breakfast, I like to serve them with a dollop of butter and some low carb maple-flavored syrup. If I have time and all of the ingredients, I will sometimes whip up a batch of sugar-free blueberry syrup to drizzle over the top.
Quick Tips
- Make extra. If you want to make a large batch for quick breakfasts later, go ahead. I always double or triple the recipe since I already have the griddle out.
- Freeze the leftovers. These coconut flour pancakes freeze very well and there’s no need to thaw them. Just pop a frozen stack in the microwave to reheat any time you want!
- Use a pancake ring or ladle. For perfectly round pancakes, use an egg ring. It ensures that you get a perfect circle every time! However, I find just using a ladle results in well-formed circles too.
- Keep the pancake size small. This makes it easier to flip them! Making silver dollar sized pancakes that are about 2-3 inches in diameter are easy to cook.
- Make sure your pan isn’t too hot. If the outside of your pancake is quickly browning but the inside is still raw, your pan is too hot!
FAQs
The entire recipe and instructions are at the bottom of this post. First, I want to answer some common questions about them.
Coconut flour pancakes are ideal for anyone on a low-carb, grain-free diet. You get just 4 grams of net carbs for every two tablespoons of coconut flour. Also, because the flour is slightly sweet, making sugar-free coconut flour pancakes is easier.
If you store coconut flour correctly, it can last for over 12 months. Make sure to store it in a cold, dark place where no moisture can get in. Regular flour has a shelf life of six to eight months, which makes coconut flour more economical.
The recipe includes vanilla extract and sweetener. Adding a little cinnamon can do the same. All of these ingredients can mask any coconut taste but these keto pancakes don’t have a strong coconut flavor anyway.
With my recipe, two fluffy, delicious keto coconut flour pancakes will deliver about 6 grams of carbs. A regular wheat flour pancake contains about 28 grams of carbs per pancake, which equals over 50 grams of carbs for two pancakes.
Packaged keto pancake mixes are available, but you can never know for sure what’s in them. Eliminate the mystery by making your pancakes from scratch!

Could you make these with pumpkin? Any substitutions? Thanks
Inez A Aultman
Pancakes make me cuss. So to keep my relationship with the Lord unhindered, I bought a 4" silicone muffin top pan. No more ugly words over ugly pancakes. So that's what I used for this recipe. 325 degrees for about 20 minutes supported by an air bake sheet.
I added finely diced Granny Smith, cinnamon and walnuts. I used the xantham gum and swapped 1/8 cup Allulose for sweetenerThe tops were nice and bumply to hold butter and syrup. I got 7 pancakes from a single recipe.
Thanks for another winner!
(Of all the low carb cooks out here, YOU are my favorite!)
Janiya
OMG! These were amazing! After three other failed coconut flour pancakes recipes, I finally found the holy grail! Thank you for this lovely, easy to follow recipe. It’s genius that you explained about separating the dry batter from the wet ingredients, stirring together then letting the batter sit. That was the magic of this recipe! I omitted Stevia with almost 2 tbsp of honey, used almond milk instead of heavy cream, and added banana to the batter after letting it sit for thirty minutes. These pancakes came out so fluffy, cooked perfectly, and delicious! This is my only pancake mix moving forward. Thank you again! 🙂
Julie
We love these pancakes. They are fluffy and so tasty!!
Thank you!!
Keith
Finally, a coconut flour recipe that does not suck. I read the notes and decided to do 2 whole eggs plus 2 egg whites. I also went savory and added a pinch more salt and no sweeteners. I also used sour cream as noted in the recipe. Kept them about 3 inches and cooked them very low and much longer than a normal pancake. Walla!
So good I am making another batch just 3 days later and will keep on hand to creating little hand sadwiches with my adobe spiced fall apart pulled beef pot roast. Yum. Thanks for the recipe it is top notch.
Mira
That adobe spice pork recipe sounds intriguing! Any chance you’d share it?
Cynthia
These have turned out to be my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PANCAKES. I still make my Mom's homemade Blueberry Sauce... PLUS I add the berries to the mix. Wild berries are the best choice since they are A LOT more nutritious than the cultivated berries. Just found large size bags of frozen Wild Berries at Walmart... and it is WORTH the investment for my health.
Denise
I just did the same thing!
Carla L
This is one of the better recipes. I accidentally added to much coconut flower, so I watered it down with a little more cream, they came out fluffy and tasty. I’m sharing with my friends. Thanks.
Agnes
Can I replace the 1/4 teaspoon of xanthan gum for thickening with Acacia gum (aka gum arabic)?
Lisa MarcAurele
Any thickener should be fine. You'll just have to test to determine the correct amount.
Mary
Can the batter be refrigerated overnight? If so, does it need to be in an airtight container? Also, if the batter is refrigerated, should I wait for the batter to come to room temperature before cooking?
Lisa MarcAurele
It should be okay but coconut flour does absorb liquid as it sits. You may need to add additional liquid if your batter is too thick after sitting in the refrigerator. The batter should also be fine to cook right from the refrigerator.
Samantha
When you say you can do 2 egg whites, do you mean in addition to one whole egg? I like my pancakes thin so I may do half sour cream half lactaid milk, hope they hold up
Ms. S
This is truly 5 stars and more!
Ms. S
Wow!
These are very tasty…
Thanks!
Frank
Tastes amazing! But...
Tried two times and breaks apart when flipping. Is there a way to stop this from happening? Followed your recipe
Lisa MarcAurele
You could try making the pancakes smaller as they cook faster and are easier to flip if they are only a few inches in diameter.
Wendy
I used 4 large eggs and they came out perfectly. I also enjoyed them without any maple syrup!
Don Ennis
Any modifications needed to use batter in a waffle maker?
Lisa MarcAurele
I think this one should work as is. I've used the batter successfully in a 4-inch waffle maker.
Steph
I added a little more flour this time & there’s not falling apart when I flip them.
Paco
Will this recipe still work if I substitute melted margarine for melted butter? How about olive oil instead of melted butter?
Lisa MarcAurele
It should work as you just need a fat in the batter but I haven't tried it myself to say for sure.
Paco
Thanks!

To start I do not do the Keto life style. I am watching my carbs and cutting out dairy - because I don't want to live in the bathroom anymore and have rashes- I am learning to cook and bake with nut flours and nut milk. . I am loving the new tastes. . Weekends are pancake and bacon days at my house. I googled a recipe for coconut flour pancakes and this popped up. Noticed it could be thicker if I wanted , so I added a Tablespoon of chia seeds to the dry ingredients and a mashed banana to the wet ingredients then let it sit 15 min . The thickness was perfect for my liking. The pancakes were delicious! Topped them with blueberries and pure maple syrup.
Follow the "flipping" instructions or the pancake will not flip over nicely without becoming a mess! It only happened on the first pancake. So happy I found this recipe and this site. I will be trying other recipes. Thank you for a wonderful brunch .
Lisa MarcAurele
Thanks for sharing! I'll have to try adding some chia seeds next time.
Grace
I love these pancakes!! They’re tender, light and fluffy.
When I first started keto I missed pancakes. So much tried the first coconut flour pancake recipe I came across and they were horrible. I haven’t tried again until today and your recipe will be my go to for pancakes. So delicious. Thank you.
Alexx
These were amazing ! I used almond milk, olive oil instead of butter, I didn't have any coconut oil on hand. I added the xantham gum and these were the PERFECT texture and flavor. Very happy to have this recipe in my back pocket now.
Cindy
Outstanding!!!!
I would make these if I was not on keto! These were better than the almond flour with coconut flour recipe.
I used Queen sugar free maple syrup, outstanding!!!!
Crystal Meadows
Using only 1/4 cup of coconut flour, the 3 eggs are most of the batter's substance. This recipe makes a very small amount if batter. It barely made 4 pancakes with a 6 inch diameter. But, they tasted ok.
Adomas
A good recipe, but it just felt like a scrambled egg shaped in a pancake with a touch of coconut. Still very tasty, but maybe a tad underwhelming
Heidi
Just made these and thought they were pretty good. I substituted 2 tsp of maple syrup for stevia since I have have a life threatening allergy to splenda and am afraid to use any other sweeteners but think I will omit the salt next time. Thank you for sharing!
Heather
Tasted great used sour cream and added 1tbsp of water as sour cream was very thick
Tanya
I made these today & they turned out really nice! I used coconut oil & coconut cream for dairy free & only egg yolks & they still worked. Thank you.
Ann
Best Keto Pancake recipe that I have tried.
Thank you so much.
cece
I'm dairy free. Can I use coconut milk or something else?
Lisa MarcAurele
Yes! I actually make these dairy-free by using coconut oil instead of butter and almond milk (or coconut milk in carton) instead of the heavy cream. However, I find that the texture is less crumbly if you add a small amount of xanthan gum (like 1/4 teaspoon).
Martin
The 15-30 minutes sit time should be added to the 10 minute prep time.
Lisa MarcAurele
You really don't have to let it sit but a couple minutes.
Helen Lane
So yummy and my non-low-carb family loves them too. Easy to remember measurements for foggy-minded mornings.
Wondering, however, if they are really 156000 calories each - that's what 156 kcal would be. A typo? A misunderstanding? It doesn't add up.
Lisa MarcAurele
The "kcal" label should be calories.
Laurel
I absolutely love these Coconut Flour Pancakes thank you for having them in your site.
Sandra
The Video was brilliant the best pancakes I have made and been on Keto for two years, thanks!!
Lisa MarcAurele
You're welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed the pancakes!
Carol Walton
I made these pancakes yesterday and they were awesome! I like the coconut flour rather than almond. These are a winner. All your recipes are great. So glad I found you. Love the cookbook.
Nancy Smith
These are perfect! I was pleasantly surprised at the lack of coconut taste that I thought they would have. I used a small cookie scoop that worked very well and got 21 from this recipe. I'm figuring it would actually serve two people because I had no problem eating half of this! Thank you for a great recipe!
Keto novice
I am 2 days into my Keto plan and was literally dying for a nice desert. I have just made these and have to say they are top drawer! Had a spoon of low carb ice cream on top. I have saved the rest of the mix for breakfast tomorrow - i havent had breakfast for 2 days because i usually have sweet breakfasts (jam on toast) and had nothing like that to have until now! Thank you 🙂
Margaret
These were good.
Veronica
Can you use Monkfruit sweetner in this recipe? Instead of swerve?
Lisa MarcAurele
Yes, any sweetener can be used in the recipe. You can even leave the sweetener out if you prefer.
Robyn
Just made these using everything from the instructuons, but used two egg whites and one egg. The taste is pretty good but the texture is not good for me. I am finding this with ALOT of keto recipes so far.
Lisa MarcAurele
Coconut flour needs more egg to get the right texture and not be dry.
Kaila
I tried these this morning. I didn’t follow the directions so the texture was a bit off but all in all I liked them. I love coconut though so probably why they aren’t a family favorite. Question what is considered a serving size? One pancake, two? All 12 ????
Lisa MarcAurele
If you make the small ones, it's 2-3 of them for a serving.
Ted Henn
Found a recipe yesterday that looked interesting, so went to the store to get everything we needed. Came home and couldn’t find the recipe online again, but came across yours. Followed the recipe perfectly (3 eggs), cooked then in coconut oil (the other recipe called for that), and they were delicious! My wife asked me to make more this morning, which I will gladly do, I just need to find a recipe that I can use this half gallon of coconut milk we now don’t need ( since I am not needing to find the other recipe for)...any hints how I can use it?
Lisa MarcAurele
You could make some pudding, soup, or smoothies.
Melissa Raulston
Excellent!
Lori
These were excellent! I used half and half vs heavy cream, and monk fruit sweetner vs stevia and that worked perfectly!
Robert Gater
Hi. what is the sweetener packet size???
Lisa MarcAurele
It's a single serving packet.
Deibra
If I don’t have the packets how much sweetener do I use?
Lisa MarcAurele
Each packet is 1 teaspoon granular.
Tonia Watters
Delicious. We are new to keto. This satisfies the crave for the bread texture. I like this better than almond flour. It doesn’t seem as dry.
Tina
I'm not a fan of almond flour so was excited to see this one. Mine did not turn out thick and fluffy but it was really good!! My husband found he is type 2 diabetic so I have completely changed his diet, and mine. He said this is amazing and I need to keep this recipe! Thank you!
C
It is a little eggy. My kids ate them.
Shirley Clark
On the coconut flour pancakes csn I use monk fruit instead of stevia. I don’t like the taste of anything but monk fruit . If so how much.
Lisa MarcAurele
You can but the amount may vary by brand. Check out my sweetener conversion chart. There's an online calculator there as well but not all brands convert the same.
Grammy
I made these and did have to add 3 T of additional flour. The flavor was OK but I didn't care for the texture. My grandson (4 yrs old) did gobble them up.
Chris
I want to make these for a good friend but cannot get to her right away how long will these last in a storage container?
Lisa MarcAurele
They should keep for a couple days, but I recommend refrigerating or freezing especially for longer storage.
Marie
I made these pancakes for the first time yesterday and was blown away!! Absolutley delicious! My grandson, who had just finished off a plate of traditional flour pancakes, tried one and declared the low carb ones to be better! I'm impressed!
Jamie
Can you make these in a waffle iron
Lisa MarcAurele
It might need a little adjusting for waffles, but you could give it a try. I do have a coconut flour waffle recipe.
Jennifer S
I have made this recipe probably at least 10 times and I’ll share the modifications that have brought me the most success and gives me a pancake very similar to a traditional hearty pancake, while being dairy free. I melt the butter/ butter sub, and add the rest of the liquid ingredients including almond milk instead of cream. If the fat hardens too much, I pop it in the microwave for about 15 seconds, because otherwise it will separate funny from the coconut flour once it’s added. Then I add the coconut flour and about a half a teaspoon of guar or xanthan gum. I don’t know what the original recipe is like with cream since I can’t have dairy, but when making it with almond milk, it tends not to hold together when flipping and falls apart, but adding a gum helps it hold together and it gets beautifully fluffy. I also usually add one extra egg and about 2-3x the milk because otherwise it’s insanely thick and dry. I use Vitasoul (I think that’s what it’s called) coconut flour and it’s more absorbent than others, so I always have to increase the liquids in every recipe I use it in, so it probably just depends on the coconut flour. The nice thing is, it ends up making a lot more pancakes so I can have extra the next day. Anyway, not eggy at all, the vanilla flavor is lovely, and the taste and texture are wonderful. I make a side of Keto syrup with water, guar gum, Lankanto sweetener, stevia, and ACV with a dash of baking soda, cinnamon, dash of salt, and a few drops of Mapleine for an amazing apple cinnamon syrup. It’s our go-to Saturday breakfast served with eggs over easy, and I recommends giving these pancakes a few minutes to settle before having seconds, because the coconut flour is incredibly filling but sometimes takes a few minutes to kick in.
Lisa MarcAurele
Wow! Thanks for sharing all those details. I've found that when using almond milk in place of heavy cream a thickener is needed as it's much thinner without the fat. I haven't had time to test this recipe dairy-free so I'm excited to try your tips. That syrup sounds wonderful too!
Chip
Can coconut cream be used in place of the heavy cream?
Lisa MarcAurele
I haven't tried it in this recipe, but it's worked well in my other recipes.
Kerry
I've tried it with dairy free sour cream and dairy free cream cheese both have a large amount of coconut and they were delicious.
KJ
5 STARS ALL THE WAY!!
Thank you Lisa for another amazing recipe. These turned out absolutely delicious. My slight tweaks were I sifted the coconut flour, added a bit more vanilla and used just under a TBSP of Erythitol.
I made 3 little pancakes plain which were yummy. Then for the next 3 I simply added some blueberries on top after pouring the batter in. These were AMAZING. Final pancakes I added some Cinnamon to the last of the batter and those were equally delicious. I was wondering if I can also use this recipe to make waffles?
Thank you!
Lisa MarcAurele
I haven't tried making waffles with the batter. But typically, waffle batter needs more fat.
Danielle
I used the batter in my Dash mini waffle maker and it turned out awesome!
Lisa MarcAurele
Good to know! I just bought a mini Dash waffle maker to experiment with.
Diane MacKay
Not good! I just tried this recipe and filled it step by step. I served the pancakes to my 10 year old granddaughter without telling her the pancakes were made from a keto recipe. When asking her if they tasted good, she replied that they tasted like eggs. I had to agree and can't recommend this recipe. I will continue to look for a better one.
Lisa MarcAurele
My six year old doesn't have any issues with these pancakes. She'll eat them plain or with butter on them. You do need to use a little more egg with coconut flour, but we don't find these to have any strong egg taste.
Cheryl F. Breville
Yummmy!!! This is indeed the very best coconut flour pancake recipe. My husband and I truly enjoyed their good taste and fluffy texture, as well as being so very nutritious ! Can't wait to try this on our grandchildren! Thanks so much!
By the way, I used organic plain whole milk yoghurt instead of sour cream in the batter, and made a side dish of berries and kiwi fruit with stevia. It was so delicious!
Cheryl and Dave
Krista L Fletcher
Please tell me how much stevia is in a packet.
Lisa MarcAurele
It depends on the brand. Most are equivalent to 1 or 2 teaspoons of sugar.
Judith Colella
Loved these! I decided to experiment after the first time I made them, and used the waffle method: I separated the eggs, whisked the whites into soft peaks, and folded them into the batter. The result was fantastic! They were slightly crispy outside and high and fluffy inside like waffles. Both ways work great, depending on what you're in the mood for, I guess. But either way, your recipe rocks! Thank you!
Lisa MarcAurele
Thanks so much for that tip!
Trudee
Thanks for the great recipe! It would be helpful if you provided the amount of Stevia used, instead of just saying "1 packet." (People who don't use Stevia are likely to know how much is in one packet.) This would make it possible for those of us using a different sugar substitute to know what amount to use (thanks to your conversion link, though it doesn't include info on the packet amount either).
Lisa MarcAurele
One packet for me is equal to about 1 teaspoon sugar (or low carb sweetener equivalent to sugar).
Mike McNaul
Just made these pancakes they are awesome added a few lilys choc chips to them with a little butter and sweetener over the top .......YUMMMM
Bartley Mccourt
these are awsome, I use sour cream and I like the batter a little on the thin side,Makes 5in. pancakes and there great with the walden farms maple syrup from payless
Tina J. Smith
question: can I use buttermilk in the coconut flour pancake recipe instead of heavy cream or sour cream?
Tina
Lisa MarcAurele
It should work as it's pretty thick like cream. However, I haven't tried it.
Toya
I really enjoyed this! It was good even without the syrup. I put eggs and bacon between two to make a breakfast sandwich. Thanks for the recipe!
Laura
I have been doing Keto and IF but have had a terrible pancake craving for the last 2 weeks! These are amazing (I was worried to eggy for the teen in the house, but he loved them too)! Going to make a another batch for Sunday brunch tomorrow!
Angela
Cooking now! I was wondering though, I followed recipe exactly, used 3 tbsp. for each and barely was able to make 6 pancakes. How do you get 12 pancakes?
Lisa MarcAurele
Mine were about 2 tablespoons batter each.
Shannon
Hello Angela!
I always double the recipe and that usually makes 15 or 16 pancakes that are about 3 inches in diameter. I also use a silicone pancake ring which results in a thicker pancake.
Lisa
Oh my gosh! These pancakes are so good!! First time I’ve tried using coconut flour and it was very simple!! Recipe was perfect the first time!!
Thank you for sharing!!
Heddi
I have been using this recipe for such a long time now. I scribbled it on a piece of scrap paper one day. I finally searched where I got it because WE LOVE THIS RECIPE!
btw I finally found it because of the "1 packet stevia" phrase...
Lisa MarcAurele
Thanks for the note. I'm so glad you've loved this recipe for so long!
Gail
Made these... very good!
Jen
Delicious! I've only made a few items on Keto, and this was a winner. I added lemon zest to the batter and prepared a sweetened cinnamon cream cheese drizzle thinned with heavy cream to go on top. Yum!
Lisa
Can you share that cinnamon recipe?
Beth
I made these yesterday and they were AWESOME! They tasted really good, which surprised me since I'm new to the whole coconut flour/low carb thing. I haven't been able to find a good low carb syrup yet, but a dollop of sugar-free syrup was all it needed to make it taste even better.
I'm so glad I found this recipe so we can have something besides eggs on our low carb diet. Thank you!
Barry Doupe
These are just like the real thing we were very happy with the result we think that we will use the sour cream next time but there is nothing that i am wanting to change .
Thanks for the great recipe
Che N
Hello Lisa,
Thank you for creating a ketogenic pancake I could enjoy. This is a first for me commenting on a food site and I hope this will help others. I created these pancakes in the mist of carrying my 9 month baby and it was really quick to prepare. I substituted the stevia for 1 tbs of xylitol instead. I actually made 13 small pancakes and I toasted a couple to use in an egg salad. I fed some of it to my baby boy and we both enjoyed them :). Thank you, Thank you.
My only disclaimer is I usually go for a fluffy big carb loaded pancake with blueberries, whip cream and maple syrup. So if your into that sort of pancake you might not enjoy it at first. I have been on Keto for 1 week 10lbs down and primary fat loss and I loved the taste of these pancakes. I had extra to share and store away.
Thank you
Lisa MarcAurele
I'm so glad these coconut flour pancakes worked out for you!
Anna
Can you tell me if these will taste grainy, I made some almond flour pancakes last night and they were so grainy..i followed the recipe to the tee..however i didnt really like the texture or taste..so now im going to try your coconut flour recipe and i am hoping they are different..Thank you..Anna
Lisa MarcAurele
Did you use fine almond flour? I find that works best in pancakes. However, I do like the texture from coconut flour better as it's a flour that's more finely ground.
annette
just wanted to add that with almond flour, I've found the grainy taste is easily removed with sifting first - I just made Keto biscuits with almond flour + baking powder + a bit of coconut flour and I sifted it all together first - it makes a world of difference!
Pauline
I was recently diagnosed with an autoimmune condition, and the rheumatologist suggested I follow a Paleo diet - but I've never cooked with coconut flour before. I really didn't mind the different texture ( it reminded me of wholewheat pancakes), and I followed the recipe exactly, except subbing in ghee for the butter. I cooked them low but had such difficulty turning them and they broke apart (but we ate them anyway lol). Could that have been because of the ghee?
On the second batch, I started them on the stove and put the pan in a hot oven and they browned on both sides and were much easier to serve. This is my first attempt so I'll definitely try them again. My husband is following my diet and we both agreed that they made a nice change from omelettes, poached eggs, fried eggs, scrambled eggs, and frittattas . . . we're kind of tired of straight up eggs!
Lisa MarcAurele
If you were told to go paleo, you'll want to skip this recipe as it uses dairy. You are better off with a dairy free pancake like the almond flour ones here: https://lowcarbyum.com/fluffy-almond-meal-pancakes/
Nicole R Griffitts
Perfect!! Made the Best pancakes! Tried making pancakes with carbquik did not work.
Lisa MarcAurele
And the added bonus is these are gluten-free!
cynthia brough
loved them .. i will be making this recipe more often ... thanks for sharing this recipe
Aleksandra
Awesome, thank you 🙂
Patricia
first time cooking with coconut flour. taste was good ..texture different but not unpleasant
Lisa MarcAurele
You may want to try sifting the coconut flour first if you didn't.
Ruby
I would like to to have the recipe
Lisa MarcAurele
It's at the bottom of the post.
Sonuahua Compton
very yummy, I omitted the salt and used salted butter, and it was almost too salty, so next time I will try with unsalted butter other than that I followed the recipe, and did not seem as thick as you said it should be.. then again my house is cool and the butter was having trouble staying melted... they kept spreading into 4-5 inch thinner pancakes.. (weird) ... but they cooked great and I loved the flavor and decided they will make a great "strawberry shortcake" kind of dessert. i quadrupled the recipe for extras. 🙂 thank you for sharing!
Lisa MarcAurele
Your coconut flour may not have been as absorbent as mine. I've found that the absorbency of coconut flour can vary.
dorothy spinks
I have tried several different recipes and these are the best pancakes I have tasted.
Lisa MarcAurele
Thanks so much for writing in to let us know you much you enjoyed the coconut flour pancakes!
Eddi
These were just perfect. I made them this morning, I was so tired of egg muffins and omelets!! These hit the spot. Hubby even liked them. We have Pancake Sunday once a month, we will be doing these for that now!! Thank you for sharing your recipes.
Lisa MarcAurele
These low carb pancakes are certainly a nice change from eggs!
Amy
My partner and I visited a cafe who had a keto menu for breakfast. He had a Canadian breakfast, whereas I just had the coconut pancakes. We paid $40 for our meal (including drinks), which inspired me to make my own. I found this recipe and had all the ingredients! My partner was disappointed we spent so much on brekkie yesterday when these pancakes were nicer and we had a bigger meal. Thanks so much!
Lisa MarcAurele
Wow! Maybe I need to open a restaurant selling keto foods. That's a high profit margin. It's so simple (and cheaper) to make it yourself.
Sabrina
Love it! I have been doing Atkins and these were such a treat. It is definitely a nice change from eggs and bacon.
Silvia Pesquera
I really enjoyed this recipe. Easy and yummy!
Debbie
Great flavor with some changes based on comments. I used 2 whole eggs + 2 egg whites. I used coconut milk from the can, as I always have that on hand. I made his in the waffle maker and mine as pancakes. I think the pancakes are less eggy tasting, he liked the waffles and said they were better than the homemade ones I used to make him years ago. I have come to the conclusion, those of us that don't care for French toast, will find these eggy. Always opt out of some of the yolk to decrease that egginess. This was a less filling meal for us 2 seniors. I'm going to tweak the recipe up by 1/2 next time and just add 2 more egg whites and no more yolks, thus reducing the egg taste even further.
Lisa MarcAurele
Thanks so much for sharing your experience and modifications!
Esther Vasquez
I made these this morning. They were delicious! I added melted coconut oil to batter in place of butter , because I love the flavor of coconut .
I got 13 silver dollar pancakes out of this batter!
Awesome and easy recipe...
Lisa MarcAurele
Thanks for letting us know how the low carb pancakes worked out!
Julie Earl
I really need a break down of the carb, protein and fiber count on these recipes.
Am I missing where that info is located?
Lisa MarcAurele
It's located near the bottom of the recipe card.
Maria Pierce
Delicious! Thank you for this wonderful recipe. I like them better than regular pancakes.
Lisa MarcAurele
You're welcome Maria. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed these low carb pancakes better than regular ones.
Kelly
Just started Keto. This recipe is delicious! I am excited to try more recipes.
Lisa MarcAurele
Thanks for the feedback! Wishing you much success on your keto journey.
Jennifer
I just made these pancakes. Delicious!!!! I Cooked a cup of frozen blueberries and added a packet of stevia. Very tasty!!! My husband even liked them. ?
Geoff
Just tried the recipe. Tasted great. Little gritty. Is that a side affect of yhe coconut flour itself? Any way to make it smoother?
Lisa
I've never had a gritty feel. However, if it's the coconut flour, sifting it before using can help.
Tee
Try grinding it. Some brands of coconut flour are more coarse than others.
Vicky
I’m on the Keto diet. I was craving for pancakes and found your recipe. I loved them. I didn’t have cream so I used cottage cheese. The batter was thick but it worked out great. I didn’t use salt either. They were moist due to the melted butter so I didn’t add extra oil to cook them. Definitely a keeper. Delicious!
Ryleig
I've been back on LCHF for 2 weeks and I've been struggling to kick cravings for sweets. These pancakes are perfect. Even my fiance approves. Thank you.
Terri Allen
What does HWC mean? Will be trying these tomorrow. 🙂
Lisa
Heavy Whipping Cream
Francis
I am new at keto. Tryed the recipe with the ingredients I had. Put my coconut flakes in the processor (until they became flour) use almond milk (non dairy tolerant) and add 1 scoop of my 0carb whey protein. Came out awesome. Will be doing this whith couple of variants. Almond bitter and berries as topping .
Lisa
I’m glad it worked for you since ground coconut flakes aren’t the same as coconut flour.
AMY WEBB
I have made these before and are great. I might add a little maple extract to these next time. I wonder what is the best way to store leftovers, tightly wrapped or in a covered container?
Lisa
I store them covered in the fridge or freezer. But you can just wrap them and put in the fridge for at least a week.
Ryse
These were really good. Used salted butter so no need to add any salt. Added cinnamon and 1tbsp flax meal to increase the fiber and more HWC to compensate for the extra thickness. They came out great. Will definitely make them for my husband tomorrow!
Pamela
Gritty not as fluffy as the photo but edible. Still looking for a better pancake. No offense to anyone. the keto ingredients don't allow for flour-like pancakes.
Angie
Oh man, these are hands down the best keto-friendly pancakes I've ever had! And I've tried at least 5 pancake recipes...the only sub I made was using 1/4 cup Swerve instead of stevia. Only complaint is I've never gotten 12 pancakes out of this batter. Always 6. Maybe I make mine way too big ??♀️ Anyway, this is a family favorite. Everyone from my 3 year old to my 80 year old grandma LOVES them!
Lisa
Thanks so much for the feedback Angie! So glad they were enjoyed by the whole family.
Rosa M Rivera
I was looking for the best and easy recipe for keto pancakes and found this one. I just made this. This pancakes are awesome. I didn't put salt because I have salted butter and I didn't put any sugar. When I mix all the ingredients the consistency of the batter was fine for me, so I just use 3 eggs, no water and no more heavy whipped cream. These pancakes are so good that I don't even need syrup. I put a little of cinnamon on my batter. Very fluffy and tasty. I made them bigger, so it was 9 pancakes. Thanks for this amazing recipe.
Lisa
I appreciate you taking the time to write in and share your experience with the recipe!
Michelle L.
Loved these - they are spot on and awesome for a keto pancake! For dairy free I use 1/2 up of canned coconut milk and omit the butter and cream. I also added chocolate chips for hubby (he loved them) and made some blueberry ones also. I quadrupled the recipe so I could have some to freeze. These are now my go to pancake recipe.
Lisa
Thanks for sharing how they worked out with dairy-free options!
Gloria
Made these coconut flour pancakes today my batter looked a little lumpy not as smooth as yours. This is my second attempt at keto pancakes and so much better than my previous batch. How can I improve texture to not have that slight gritty cardboards taste.
Lisa
Try sifting the coconut flour next time with the baking powder.
Britt
This recipe is the best coconut pancakes I’ve ever had! Thank you for sharing! This is the first recipe that isn’t eggy!!! I didn’t have vanilla extract so I added sugar free vanilla syrup to the recipe! It came out great!
Lisa
You're welcome Britt. Thanks so much for writing in to let us know how much you enjoyed the pancakes.
Sherrie Gillard
I made these today, the batter was a little thick, I did add a little more cream and water, still a little thick, but just spread it in the pan a bit, cooked in a non-stick fry pan with a bit of coconut oil, they cooked very well, good thickness, nice and soft. I ate them with sugar free maple syrup and a dash of cream, very yummy, will definitely make these again, best recipes I have found, thanks for that, cheers 🙂
Lisa
Glad they turned out so well for you!
Heather
The first time i made them i found the batter too runny and they were gritty but someone old me when using coconut flower to let it rest. I usually wait at least 30 minutes after mixing the batter before i cook them or make the batter the night before and keep in the fridge. Now they come out perfect. My kids love these pancakes and they are better than any other recipe I've tried.
Lisa
Thanks for sharing that tip Heather!
Andres
I wish I had read this before I made mine
Dot P.
These are definitely a keeper. They were fluffy and a hit with my picky husband. Will serve over and over. I'e tried almond flour recipes and these are no comparison... these are SO much better!!!
Lisa
I agree! Coconut flour pancakes are my favorite too.
Laura
As a teacher who is always on the go, these pancakes are on point! I make a huge batch on Sunday, and I heat them up as need be. Great for breakfast or a small afternoon snack!
Lisa
When I was working as an engineer, I was doing the same. These are great to have stored in the refrigerator or freezer for a quick breakfast or snack.
Raul
People these are the real deal. I had them this morning and they came out perfectly. My wife doesn't do keto, but this recipe was perfect for me. I was able to make 2 6-7 inch size pancakes. Thank you for taking the time and sharing this recipe. ?
Lisa
You're welcome Raul! So glad the recipe worked for you.
Jenna
Not my favorite keto pancake. Unfortunately they were dry, boring, gritty, and cardboardy. I did follow the recipe. I like the almond flour and cream cheese recipe is better. Not that anything compares to real pancakes, but my guests really didn't care for these.
Lisa
Sometimes it's the ingredients used. My family prefers this one to the almond flour one.
Nick
Me too wonder why?
Kathy Girgenti
I have been making these for awhile now and we love them. My husband just had to go off of all dairy and I substituted almond milk for the whipped cream/sour cream and it worked fine.
Lisa
That's good to know. I'd think almond milk would be too thin and extra coconut flour may be needed.
savita thakur
looking very delicious and yummy ..Can't wait to try it...thanks for this awesome recipe.Really appreciable.
Lisa
I really hope you give these a try and enjoy the taste.
Rebekah
My daughter made these for her family and encouraged me to try them. I just made these for myself and my granddaughter. She is currently on her 5th pancake at 2 1/2 years old! LOL! I have been keto for 11 weeks now and these hit the spot! I made them exactly as the recipe states using the HWC. Then I did wind up adding more HWC to thin the batter a bit. Delicious!! Can’t wait to make these for my husband on Saturday!! 🙂
Lisa
I'm glad these worked out for you and your daughter. My daughter is five and she's a super picky eater but she enjoys eating these pancakes too.
Deborah Melillo
Please confirm if you use 1/2 cup melted butter or 1/4 cup melted butter? Video says 1/2 and recipe says 1/4 cup?? Thanks!
Lisa
It's the amount listed in the recipe, 1/4 cup.
Sandie
Unfortunately, I pulled all the ingredients out and followed the video and did the 1/2 cup butter. It bad for a thinner batter. They spread on the pan but I decided to try them anyways. No extra butter needed lol. They were edible but look forward to doing g it correctly next time. Lol
Lisa
Sorry about that.
Kathy H
New follower here, I have made another pancake recipe using almond flour & they were good but thought I should try a coconut flour recipe too. Sure glad I did cause we much prefer this one. The texture was very close to regular pancakes & we both like the taste better. This one is a keeper! Thanks, I'll be checking out your other recipes too.
Lisa
You're welcome Kathy! I hope you find other recipes you enjoy on the site.
Natasha Bonnici
I just made these - they are my second attempt at low carb pancakes. They were amazing - I managed to make 15 small pancakes.
I’ll experiment with different toppings and let you know how it goes. I am day 2 into Keto so very early days yet.
Lisa
Good luck on your new eating plan! I wish you much success.
Michele
Can this batter be used in a waffle maker?
Lisa
It might as it's pretty thick, but I've never tried.
Timeka
OMG these were Sooo delicious. I only had half of the vanilla extract so added banana extract for the remainder with 2 small packets of Monk fruit sweetner and it was to die for! Thanks for the recipe .
Lisa
Banana extract sounds like a cool flavor to add. Yum!
Rina
this is by far the best tasting coconut flour pancakes ive ever tried. They don't taste egg and have the closest to a normal pancake texture. My only complaint (and I'm wondering if we could all brainstorm here) how can we make it less crumbly and stick together better (without having to add an extra egg). Im wondering about flax? Hmm
Lisa
I think psyllium is a better choice than flax.
Sophia
This was my first low carb pancake recipe I tried, and I loved it! So delicious. I used monk fruit sweetener in batter and monk fruit syrup and butter in top. This entire batch was two filling servings for me. I ended up making 8 pancakes of slightly varying sizes.
Lisa
So glad you enjoyed these pancakes Sophia! It's my favorite low carb pancake recipe.
Susan
Have to say, these are best alternative pancakes I’ve came across! I’m not a fan of coconut flour due to the texture, but it really didn’t bother me here. I made it exactly as is and this is th first time I have not thrown the batter away after cooking one pancake. The only additions I might try in the future is maybe a touch more salt and add some cinnamon to the batter. I cooked bacon and let the batter sit while I did that. It was perfect. Mine did not turn out as fluffy as yours did, but I also didn’t use the pancake ring and mine came out about 1.5 times your size (calculated on amount of servings), due to the running in the pan. Can see where the ring will come in handy next time! Thank you for this great recipe!
Lisa
So glad these pancakes worked out for you especially since you aren't much of a coconut flour fan.
Cas
Just curious, could you make waffles with this recipe?
Lisa
It's a thick batter so it would likely work.
Maria Abercrombie
Thank you Soooooo much! I have started a diet that my dietitian has recommended, low carb/high protein. I love pancakes and so does my family. I have tried other pancake reciepies.....blah. I tried these pancakes this morning and the kids and I love them. I didn't have coconut flour, I used Almond flour (that's what I had on hand). I will do this recipe again, after I get some coconut flour. If they taste this wonderful with almond flour, I can imagine how great they'll taste with coconut flour. This recipe is a keeper.......YUMMMMM!!!!
Lisa
Wow! Good to know the almond flour worked out.
Jesse
I cant stand the taste of coconut flour because I just dont care for it. I used almond flour instead, cut the recipe in half and made one giant pancake. It was only 4 carbs! I used two eggs and that made it too eggy, next time I'll cut it down to one. It was very delicious and I had no issues cooking it. Wish I could upload a picture at the awesomeness.
Lisa
Good to know it can be adjusted to work with almond flour too.
Lisa
So glad it worked out!
Cynthia
Hi... when I saw the picture of these pancakes, I just knew I had to give them a try. I woke up this morning craving blueberry pancakes and because I cannot eat wheat I went on search for fluffy coconut flour pancakes and yours came up.
So I made them and I have to say I have tried several other recipes only to have them dumped in the trash. The batter's that I made came out quite sick however when I place it on my griddle they did send out and we're much thinner than yours. But in comparison to all of the other coconut flour recipes I have tried these are by far superior!
I made my mother's homemade blueberry maple syrup sauce slice up some bananas because between you and I I was also craving blueberry banana bread ... LOL... SO I KILLED TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE!
Mom's blueberry sausage made with fresh blueberries and I just dumped one pint container into a small saucepan with a little bit of water maybe not even halfway cover them and simmer them until they just start to pop so you have to watch him cuz it will happen quickly. then you add maple syrup the real stuff not the store bought fake maple syrup, a little bit of butter I choose to use ghee, and I second it with kuzu root but you can use whatever thickener of choice you prefer like cornstarch. I like the kuzu root because it will thicken as it cooking sometimes you have to remove the pan from the stove cuz it will get too thick to quickly he has to watch it but let me tell you these are AMAZING!
OH,. one other detail I subbed out the heavy cream for Greek yogurt!
Lisa
Thanks for sharing how they turned out. The blueberry maple syrup sounds awesome.
Cynthia A Robinson
I made a variation today. I love blueberry banana bread. A friend of mine gave me her recipe & I will say, it is always a hit. Basically add a cup of fresh berries to your banana bread batter and bake.
For the pancakes I doubled the amount of baking powder, and I used condensed coconut milk in place of cream this time.
While the batter was set aside to thicken I mashed 1/2 of a ripe banana, then mixed that into the batter. I folded in fresh blueberries, and made the pancakes.
I also made the same blueberry sauce again.
With the other half of the banana, I separated it into the three natural sections that bananas have and cut these into small chunks
I put some of the banana chunks on top of the cooked pancakes, added the homemade blueberry sauce... And it was quite good!
Lisa
That sounds really delicious!
Sakura
I used 2 eggs instead of three. I also used Perrier mineral water and ½ tsp baking powder, Swerve sweetener, and coconut milk. You may even want to increase the extract you use. With all that, the pancakes will have the consistency of a blintz or crepe. It was trail and error with the heat as well. I burned the 1st one. The type of range/stove you have and altitude will also be a variable. They take longer to flip. I wonder if milling the coconut flour again, to the consistency of matcha tea, will give a more silky texture? Has anyone tried that? I'm going to try aramanth to see if it changes the texture and heavy cream next time. As is, they are a welcome change from the sterile diet for diabetics. I had mine with a piece of beef sausage and Smucker's diet maple syrup. I was given really bad pancakes with this syrup, while in the hospital, but the syrup and butter made them edible. No bad after taste. I called the dietician for the brand. They work well with this recipe.
Good luck...
Lisa
Thanks for sharing your experience Sakura!
Judy
I have stalked LC recipes for years and this is the first time I simply HAD to comment. WOW! And first time something made with coconut flour didn’t taste like I made something with coconut flour!
I may be eating all the pancakes so I hope your recipe was serving size=1!!!!!!
Warning: if you keep the batter thick, you increase the slight burn probability waiting for it to cook enough to flip...
THANK YOU FOR SAVING BREAKFAST TIME FOR ME!
Lisa
It's best to smooth out the pancakes on the griddle or pan to flatten out the batter a bit. I just made a video that I'll be posting soon showing exactly how I make this recipe at home.
Belinda
Hi, I loved the taste and consistency, but I didn’t flatten out the batter and tried to flip to soon. Most of the pancakes fell apart. My baking powder was probably too old. I’m not sure what happened, but I will definitely try them again. How many servings are in this recipe?
Thanks for the recipe!
Lisa
I get 3-4 servings.
Dianne D'Amore
Fabulous!!! Used monkfruit sweetener instead of stevia. Letting the batter sit for minimally 20 minutes will make a big difference. It lets it thicken a bit. I made the pancakes not to big so the would flip easier. No issues.
My husband and I truly miss stuff like this on a keto diet and these pancakes really hit the spot. These will be our go to recipe for sure.
Lisa
Thanks Dianne! That's a great tip on letting it sit to thicken. I usually let my batter sit for about 15 minutes.
Emilie
This was absolutely fantastic! I loved it! The only thing is I had to use heavy whipping cream instead of heavy cream, but it was perfect!
Lisa
They are very close, just a slightly different amount of fat. But, I use them interchangeably.
Linda
Have left overs , can i freeze them.
Lisa
Yes! I freeze them all the time with excellent results.
amber flores
Hi Lisa so I followed this exact recipe and it made 4 pancakes so what would the carbs and fats be? It was thicker I am just trying to get better understanding
Lisa
Each pancake would be 3 times what's stated as I got 12 smaller pancakes. My one pancake is equal to 3 of your larger ones.
Angie
I followed this recipe almost exactly except I used almond flour instead of coconut flour. For those of you that were commenting that the gritty texture was unpleasant I highly recommend trying this! The only difference was, I added more flour and a bit more vanilla. Try it!! Delish!!!
chelsea
I loved these and so did my toddler. I substituted 1 Tbsp of Golden Lakanto for the stevia packet. You should definitely try with the Lakanto maple syrup. I mixed the batter very well until there were no clumps at all and let it sit to thicken. Not all coconut flours are made the same. I used an organic coconut flour that I keep fresh (and moist) in the fridge. They tasted buttery.
Lisa
I do keep my coconut flour in the refrigerator as I feel it's the best way to keep it fresh. Thanks for sharing!
Lisa Angell
Wow, loved these! First Keto style pancakes I’ve really liked, thank you so much for the recipe!
Lisa
You're welcome! I'm glad they worked out.
Marianne
These were just ok. The pancakes, while they rise were pretty gritty. When I hear something described as “fluffy” I think “soft” this are not. Also, the nutritional are off. If you use 1/4 c batter for each pancake (which is a regular size) it makes 7 pancakes (not 12). For each pancake 127 calories, 3.5g carbs 10.9g fat 3.6g protein. This matters if your counting calories or macros. Maybe this recipe was making half dollars sized? I may try it again and fuss with the recipe using suggestions by others.
Lisa
The recipe does count a serving as three small pancakes. There can be variations in coconut flour that requires some adjusting.
Danielle
First time using coconut flour and first keto pancake recipe! Topped with butter and Walden’s syrup. My tastebuds are very happy. Thank you!!!!!
Angel
I agree with everyone who said this was eggy. It tasted like an egg omelet. I followed the instructions exactly and they were barely edible to me. Maybe I will try to tweak it next time but these definitely weren't like real pancakes. Not even close.
Mandy
I found the same eggy issue. They were not fluffy and took forever to cook on each side without bubbles. Because they were turning quite brown, I flipped them before ready and they fell to mush. I lowered the temp for next batch and still over browned before I could flip. This is pretty much the first recipe fail I've ever had. I can't figure out what I did wrong!!
Lisa MarcAurele
Was your batter really thick? It should be thick before putting on the griddle or skillet. So thick that you will need to spread it out a bit with a rubber spatula or spoon. I also set my griddle to 325°F and they do not brown too quickly. So your cooking temperature may be off if the inside isn't cooking with the outside being browned.
Rachel Watkins
I just made these this morning. We started the Keto diet about 2 weeks ago and it's been an amazing change for us, but we were getting tired of bacon and eggs or smoothies for breakfast. This was a delicious, welcome change. I boiled some frozen, sliced, unsweetened strawberries with stevia for the syrup and my daughter said it tasted like Christmas!
Lisa
I love topping my pancakes with a fruit syrup too!
Erin
I made them today. My family loved them but we couldn't get them to be fluffy and in order for them to not burn we had to flip them before we should have so they'd fall apart which isn't a big deal because they're gonna get cut up anyways but they tasted great and I ate them as is. And some strawberries on the side.
Lisa
It sounds like the temperature of your pan was too hot.
Paula
I made these this morning almost exactly as listed. I didn't have heavy cream so I used some Silk coconut milk instead. They turned out wonderful! Thanks for a great recipe!
Karyn
Can I use just egg whites? I can't eat egg yolks they upset my stomach.
Lisa
It's worth a try. I haven't tested it that way.
Angie
I added 1tbsp milled flax to heighten the fibre and it added a lovely nutty flavour!
These are brilliant and a life saver on my 4th day on Keto - the cravings are killing me
Lisa
Good luck with the transition. The cravings do calm down the longer you go.
Stanley
Not sure if I did anything wrong -- followed the recipe exactly as it said, although I had to add heavy cream because it was too thick.
In the end, it tasted just like an omelette. The egg was overwhelming. Even with a little peanut butter or jam on top wasn't enough to override the egginess, it just made it a bad combo.
KGRS
Followed recipe using sour cream, added juice and zest from half a lemon: DELISH! Topped with sugar free raspberry compote.
Nicole
These were quite yummy! Nice texture! I liked them better than the carb quick I just started using! Will be making them again. Thanks for sharing.
Talice
Wonderful! Finally a recipe with the correct texture! And, they smell wonderful while cooking! Thanks!
Joanna
I wonder if you can do as waffles?
Lisa
I've never tried it with this recipe, but it should work. You may want to adjust the liquid, though.
Heather
I’m just made a couple batches in my Belgium waffle maker and I think they cook better as a waffle than a pancake! Absolutely amazing!!
Haley
I enjoyed this recipe, thanks for sharing! Modifications I made were no sweetener, added cinnamon, and for fat - used what I had on hand - 1/8 c full fat yogurt and 1-8 c half and half.
For those who commented these were gritty and eggy - a few thoughts:
First, you are making a coconut flour pancake - in no way should you expect that coconut flour will mimic the texture of wheat flour perfectly. Coconut flour is not wheat flour - different entirely. Wheat has gluten; Coconut flour is gluten free, therefore needing more binding agents (eggs) to help hold it together. That is part of the trade off. Embrace the crepe-like egginess. Adjust your expectations.
Regarding grit - I have found that coconut flour performs best when sifted first. So, if you don't sift, give it a whirl!
Terri
I am wondering if you can use half & half instead of heavy cream?
also about how long did you cook them on each side?
Lisa
I find the thickness of heavy cream is needed in the recipe.
Dee Dee A.
I used what i had in the fridge- Mexican table cream which is a thicker than heavy cream. I also added 1 table spoon of water and let the batter sit for a while while the griddle heated. I got perfectly fluffy pancakes! I like to tweak recipes to adjust to my taste but this was a great recipe to begin with.
Lisa
I used to love using the Table cream. Good to know it works out in this recipe.
Kat
These pancakes are very eggy and not fluffy. I followed the recipe exactly...twice!
Lisa
What brand of coconut flour did you use? Was your batter thick or thin? I get fluffier pancakes with a thicker batter.
Emily
I agree, there was nearly no pancake texture, just a omelette feel to it
Debbie
These are delicious! And so easy to make. They’re fluffy just like regular pancakes....and if you thin the batter with too much water (like I sometimes do, oops!), they come out a little more crepe-like, but still delicious. I even like the leftovers cold with a little whipped cream cheese. Made a double batch this morning to have non-egg breakfasts for a few days. May try freezing some. Thanks!
Janice
I made these pancakes this morning for the first time and they were delicious!
I followed the recipe exactly as it was written and they turned out fluffy and light.
(I did add additional heavy whipping cream as they recipe suggested, to thin the batter a little.)
We put a little Smuckers Sugar-Free Breakfast syrup on them, but honestly,
they would have been yummy without it!
I will definitely be making these again!
Thanks for the recipe!
Linda
These were yummy, but only made four pancakes at 5” diameter. I ate 3, and that totals 718 calories. Quite a huge difference from the calories listed!! ?
John
How did you arrive at that number of calories? Based on the recipe your yield should of been total calories: 942 divided by 12 = 78.5 calories per pancake X 3 = 235.5.
Lisa
The number is calculated based on an ingredient database. And, it's for one small pancake.
kim
Same here I only got 4 pancakes out of recipe.
Lisa
I make small pancakes and typically only eat 3 at a time.
Glenna Parks
Thank you for sharing this and other recipes. Our family is moving towards a healthier eating regimine and these are helping us to enjoy along the way!
Kate
The first time I made these they were delicious!!! I followed the recipe exactly then thinned the batter with cream.
Today when I made them, I thinned the batter with water because I was low on cream. The batter instantly changed in appearance and became curdled looking! When cooked, they had an odd gritty texture. All cream from now on for us!
Shelly
Absolute best low carb pancake!
Brenda
This recipe was the best low carb pancake recipe I've tried so far and I've tried about 5. It was easy to make and the pancakes cooked up great. Unfortunately I did not like them, but I think that is just me. I think I've come to the realization from trying to bake / cook with coconut flour that I just don't care for it. These were less eggy and more buttery and fluffier than other pancake recipes I've tried so that was great but I just can't get past the coconut flour I guess. 4 stars for a great recipe though. Thanks! I look forward to trying more of your recipes!!
Anna glass
First time trying anything with coconut flour, and it was good! I used three eggs and I felt it was still a bit eggy, but I think it’s really a good substitute for regular pancakes.
Ilene Pope
How much Xanthum gum would you use in this recipe?
Lisa
It's not needed in this recipe. But, if you want to try it, only a small amount like 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon.
Kendall Brunner
Could you use yogurt in place of the sour cream/heavy cream?
Lisa
I haven't tried it with this recipe, but it's worked in similar recipes so worth a try.
Aimee
Made this recipe today and I used strained low fat Greek yogurt, just because. They where really hard to keep together they kept falling apart. What that my fault ? And also made my stomach kinda off . Do you think it’s because of all the fiber?. Or did I just eat my pancakes raw , because the consistency was more or like a angel cake
Lisa
I find the pancakes are best when made with heavy cream, but some have been successful using sour cream. It's never been tried with yogurt.
Kate C
Can I use just two eggs instead of 4 because I don’t like the eggy taste? Or does it not have the eggy taste? Because I am really sensitive to that eggy taste?
Lisa
The recipe calls for 3 eggs and an additional one if too thick. You could try adding more cream to thin the batter, but the batter should be somewhat thick. Coconut flour does require a lot of eggs so without testing, I can't say for sure if it would be okay. I personally don't find the pancakes eggy.
Nicole
Can’t handle how good these are. The sweetness from the coconut especially when you cook them with spray coconut oil is awesome doesn’t even need syrup. Some fresh strawberries on top really makes it! If you use low fat sour cream and unsweetened applesauce instead of butter you can get the calorie count down to 40 cal a pancake. That’s o can’t handle how good these are. The sweetness from the coconut especially when you cook them with spray coconut oil is awesome doesn’t even need syrup. Some fresh strawberries on top really makes it! I used low fat sour cream, instead of heavy cream...and 1/8 cup unsweetened applesauce instead of butter it brought the calorie count down to 40 cal a pancake and bigger pancakes too. That about 1 SP per pancake!!!! If you follow WW.
Ellen
Lol the idea is to keep them low carb. Using low fat sour cream and applesauce would increase the carb count significantly. Definitely wouldn't be okay for a keto diet.
Fat is not the enemy on these diets!
Also I used a sugar free maple syrup sweetened with sucralose. Super good! 🙂
Suzanne
I made these today and I loved them! I've tried other recipes, but didn't care for them. This one is a keeper! Thank you!
Carla Morris
Followed the recipe exactly..
unable to flip the pancakes ?
Tasted great but will not try again
Lisa
Did you let the batter sit to thicken a bit? Also, it helps to make smaller silver dollar size pancakes.
Keri
Am on Atkins going to try this . Looks so good
Christine
Just tried this for my first attempt at any pancakes using something other than regular flour. I have Wild Harvest coconut flour, and so I wantes to make pancakes.
I doubled the heavy cream, baking powder and vanilla. I skipped stevia. Not a fan of it. I just used 1 tsp of sugar since this will be an every once in a great while thing for me. Everything else I kept the same.
Cooks up well. Used butter in the frying pan. Tasted great. I got 7 pancakes from the batter. Even my son loves them!
Thanks for posting!!! ❤️
Lisa
I'm glad it worked out for you!
Miltonmom
Made these today but with sour cream instead of heavy cream (altho
I did use a little heavy cream to help thin it out a little at the end) and using 1 1/2 tsp Pyure for the stevia. Turned out yummy!
Lisa
Awesome! Thanks for the tip on the the sour cream.
Whitney
Would using coconut milk instead of heavy cream work?
Lisa
You actually need the thickness of cream for the pancakes to come out fluffy.
Tina
Hi Lisa,
I have made these a ton of times now and adore them. My question is on carb count. I put the 8 carb for coconut flour, but everything else says 0 carb... heavy cream, eggs too. How do you come up with the carb count? Please and thank you.
Tina
Lisa
It's one silver dollar sized pancake. I have used two different calculators to determine it based on 12 pancakes.
Mary Martin
There is carbohydrates in eggs and heavy cream. Whatever your using to track may not be adding the “trace carbs” in. For instance 2 tablespoons of heavy cream has 0.8 carbs.
JoAnna
I am assuming that you would take the total carb count for recipe and divide by the number of pancakes you come up to determine per pancake carb count.
Tina Farmer
Hey Lisa!
I must say this is the BEST lchf pancake recipe I have ever had. I've had plenty and thrown it out. My son and hubby ate them and went back for more. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Lisa
You're welcome Tina!
Greta
Lisa what brand of coconut flour do you use?
Lisa MarcAurele
I like to use Bob's Red Mill or Anthony's.
Jeff
As the old saying goes, just because it walks like a duck doesn’t mean it’s a duck. I tried these this morning, added some blueberries for a sweeter taste. While cooking they looked just like regular pancakes, that’s where the similarity stopped. This is the second recipe I have tried using coconut flour the first went into the garbage, this one made it to the plate.. I guess i’m not a fan of coconut flour, the pancakes were a bit gritty, half way through the stack the plate leaned toward the waste basket and they slid in...end of story!
Lisa
It could also be the coconut flour product you are buying. Mine is never gritty.
Ellen
try grinding your coconut flour in a coffee grinder before using it. Should help with the grittyness
Megan
Made these today & YUM!!!! My kids were jealous of my low carb pancakes and wanted to try them. They said these are their new favorites. Thanks for the great recipe!
Lisa
Awesome!
Julie
I have a serious sweet tooth, my boyfriend does not. I didn't enjoy these pancakes on their own but my boyfriend really liked them. He eats them with cheese melted on top! The texture was similar to a wet, slightly gritty pancake, maybe even french toast. I cooked mine in butter so they did have a nice butter flavor but the egginess was still there. They did get the nice crispy brown edges like pancakes and were "spongey" like a pancake. I think if I make them again, I will add more sugar substitute, maybe some cream cheese, and use one less egg. Thank you for the recipe!
Tonya
Do these freeze well? My kids really like them and I'd like to make these in batches if they do. Thanks!
Lisa
Yes! These freeze very well. I always make extra for the freezer.
Nome
Looks like a great recipe! Inwant to try it. But I'm allergic to stevia, do you think I could use Whey-Low instead? (wheylow dot com)
Lisa
Any equivalent sweetener is fine to use.
Charles
Great recipe!! Type2 diabetic here. Great to have a pancake again with out all the carbs!! THANK YOU for sharing this! BRAVO ZULU! Well Done!
Lisa
You're welcome Charles!
CHARLES WADE
Made these today. Let me tell you, these ARE GREAT!! TYPE2 diabetic, and it was do good to eat a pancake again without all the carbs!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!! Wonderful!! Can't tell the difference between these and regular high carb pancakes! Great!!!!
Jane
I have tried several coconut flour pancake recipes and this one is a keeper! The best I ever tried! I used sour cream and used 1 tsp. vanilla and 1 tsp. baking powder. Also added 1 1/2 pkg. stevia. The other recipes were not fluffy and tasted terrible. This one is actually delicious! Thank you!
Lisa
Yay! Thanks for writing in.
Jenn
I made these, first off delish. But my question is the serving size for this recipe is 12? So basically that’s 1 tablespoon per pancake? So about a sandollar size pancake?
Lisa
I like to keep them small. It's about 2 tablespoons per pancake from what I recall.
kim
hi! so 1 pancake is 74 x 12 calories? and 1 x 12g of carb? im confused hehe thanks
Lisa
I usually eat 3 tiny pancakes, but I provided the data for each one. Most people don't make the small size like I do so it will be more depending on the size. The data is for 1/12 of the entire recipe.
Ktsativa
I thought these were great! I'm on Keto and I just love sweets in the morning . I was so sick of eggs. They reminded me a little of French toast which is a plus.
Rhonda
Hi, I made these pancakes this morning and the taste was good but the texture is gritty and they kinda just fall apart in your mouth. Should I have done something different
Lisa
It could be your ingredients. The coconut flour should be very fine so it isn't gritty. I'm not sure why you're getting a gritty texture. I've used Anthony's and Better Body coconut flour without issue.
Liz Perez
I wonder if i could add almond milk instead of heavy cream. Is that low carb?
Lisa
Unsweetened almond milk is low carb. But, it may not work well in this recipe as it's much thinner.
gritsgirltn
I have been searching for a great coconut flour pancake recipe because my son loves pancakes but we're trying to go gluten free. My oldest son is allergic to eggs however , sorry if this has already been asked but, does anyone know if there is a way to substitute the eggs? I suppose it wouldn't be good if they were left out?
Lisa
You could try gelatin eggs, psyllium eggs, chia eggs, or flax eggs. I have had good luck with gelatin and psyllium, but haven't tried it in this recipe.
Sam
Has he tried duck eggs? Often duck eggs are okay when chicken eggs are not.
Michelle
Hi! Mine did not turn out too well. BUT, I am new to trying to bake low carb substitutes. I usually just go without anything remotely like bread. I also didn't have heavy cream so I used 1/2 and 1/2. The batter was lumpy and grainy and didn't hold together. However, I read through the comments and saw many areas where I could improve my technique. I also think I cooked them too hot. So many fails for this newbie. I am going to try them again with sour cream and overall just being more careful. The best part was that I was going to manually add the recipe to my calorie tracking app but it was already in there! So great. Thank you.
Lisa
Sour cream is a better sub than half and half. The pancakes don't work so well if you use a thinner liquid. And, definitely cook at a lower griddle temp.
Janet
Ok. So I’ve really missed pancakes (and grits) since going keto a few months ago. I’ve tried several pancake recipes that said “the best!” Not. ? But this one? The best. Texture is the closest to flour pancakes. Not eggy. And I like to brown and crispy the outside of pancakes. This is the first keto one that has allowed this! Yay. I also discovered that the batter will stay nicely a few days in the frig. This is a keeper that I’ve shared with others. ☺️ Now if you could just give this southern girl some keto grits! ? Thanks so much! ❤️?
Lisa
I've actually made mock grits from cauliflower. I should probably post the recipe.
tammy
i would love to hear about the grits recipe
Lis
Finally a coconut flour recipe that worked! I tried 3-4 before yours and the end result was never anything that looked like pancakes. Yours was good though. Topped them with fruit, very satisfying.
Lisa
Yay! I'm so happy mine worked for you!
Melissa
I saw this recipe online and decided that we were having pancakes for dinner. These came out great and so much better than the other coconut flour pancakes I have made! My kids loved them. I doubled the recipe, but only had 5 eggs, so I used some extra cream and water to thin the batter. I wasn’t sure how that would affect the pancakes, but they still came out light and fluffy. Definitely keeping this recipe in rotation! Thanks!
Lisa
Pancakes make a great quick dinner! Good to know it works with less eggs and extra liquid.
christina
These didn't work for me. It was a big pile of broken pieces of pancakes. The batter consistency was not right either, very thick. I had to water down with a mixture of cup of water and coconut milk. Although in hindsight if I left it that thick maybe it would not have fallen apart upon flipping. I did sub the eggs for flax eggs, that's the only thing I changed. I feel coconut flour pancakes are not meant to be. I have looked at many other recipe's reviews and they all had similar problems with consistency.
Lisa
The batter should be thick and flax eggs may not work properly in the recipe. Real eggs hold them together too.
olga Alvarez
I had a grand son that allergy for eggs so I use Knox unflavored gelatine when ever bake or cook any thing with eggs I use the gelatine olga
Lisa
Thanks Olga. I've had mixed results with gelatin. But, I have been successful baking eggless pancakes using gelatin. Maybe I just need more experimenting.
Karissa
YUM! I love that these use coconut flour as I always find almond flour so dense in pancakes. Huge hit with the fam, and everyone is exited to now have a fluffy, true-to-life pancake!
Lisa
Agree! We prefer coconut flour because it's lighter and almond flour is inflammatory.
Myssie
What if I don't have a sweetener? Will it ruin the recipe?
Lisa
It shouldn't. The sweetener is only added to enhance the taste. Not really required.
Terri Larimore
what is the equivalent of "1 packet" of Stevia?
Lisa
It's about 1 teaspoon of sugar equivalent.
Badihahmsr
This is sooo goood
You should try it with some melted chocolate and whipping cream
I ate with some no bake cheesecake . Such a random combination but i made it in the same day . So i do eat it together 🙂
Lisa
That does sound delicious! I will definitely give it a try.
Arlene Gautier
These pancakes will be a nice go to for a change from me eating eggs
Yannie
Just made these! Color/shape was spot on, and the texture was nice. However, most of them were quite flat. Should i up the baking powder a bit? Also, has anyone tried subbing in some oat fiber (maybe 1/3 of total flour) to lower the net carbs a bit and taste a bit less coconut-ey?
Thanks again!
Lisa
Oat fiber is a great add. But, you'll need about 3-4 times as much to replace part of the coconut flour. Also, more baking powder should give a better rise.
April
Sorry if it has already been asked but I noticed you mentioned that a serving size is 3 small pancakes. Does the 74 calories apply to all 3 pancakes or 74 calories for each individual pancake?
Lisa
It's one pancake as stated in the label.
Jan Mayo
under nutritional guide it says (1) pancake--
Holly
Wonderful flavour and texture!! I do wish each serving made a larger pancake, but 3 small pancakes does satisfy. I used Lakanto (monk fruit) instead of stevia because I prefer the taste, and it turned out wonderfully!! The rest of the batch will go into the freezer for future breakfasts!
Lisa
I use Lakanto monk fruit sweetener too, but haven't tried it in this recipe.
Gwen
Great, I will use Monk Fruit, as well for the same reason! Thanx Lisa!
Kathy Farrell
I used half coconut flour and half almond flour. I reduced the eggs to two. The pancakes were so light and fluffy and didn't have that "eggy" taste. I've made these several times. So good.
Lisa
Thanks for sharing!
Gwen
This is likely what I will do as I love the taste of Almond Flour even more than Coconut! Thanx for the idea, Kathy!
Rich
I never comment on recipes I try but I had to comment on this one.
I made these last night for the first time. Never cooked with coconut flour before so did not know what to expect in regards to taste. I am new to the whole low carb or Keto diet.
But holy cow they were fantastic!! I was able to find some sugar free syrup in my local grocery store. And man were they good.
Going to have to buy the big bag of Coconut flour as I will be having these for breakfast for now on!
Thanks for the great recipe
Rich
Lisa
Thanks for commenting! It means a lot that you took the time to let us know how the recipe worked out. I prefer this recipe over the almond flour one.
LinzAnn
I haven't made or eaten much in terms of strict keto or paleo recipes, so I question my own appraisal in terms of how reasonable my expectations are when using limited and alternative ingredients. But I like to experiment in the kitchen, so my repetoire frequently includes "fringe" ingredients like matcha, nut butters and various untraditional flours, and I look for recipes that let me try them.
I used 3 eggs and a smidge of fresh buttermilk with my cream, and I still found the recipe to be a little bit eggy. I noticed this more when I tried to hurry up the process and cranked the heat to medium. Whoops! Can't do that with these. I singed the delicate egg and tasted that crisp burned egg flavor. It was a little messy for a first timer trying to learn the ropes of grittier flour and egg forward flapjacks, but I still ended up with an empty plate of crumbs and maple syrup so I have to give it 4 stars instead of 3 🙂
Lisa
It is best to lower the heat for these pancakes so it cooks well inside without burning the inside. Thanks for sharing your experience with the recipe!
Shelby
Does anyone know the amount for a sing serving? I tried my best but .1 cups of everything doesn't give me much to go on. it tasted good, however... It didn't stay together. it just turned into nothing but crumbles. it's not dry, that's for sure, and it tastes amazing with the syrup I made, buttt.... yeah, crumbly. kinda feels liek I made a pie crust.
Lisa
It sounds like there wasn't enough liquid. You may need to add in another egg or reduce the amount of coconut flour. A serving is 3 small pancakes or 1-2 larger ones.
Judy
I live at sea level. I read through the commend and added a squirt of lemon juice to the whipping cream and a half teaspoon of soda and an 8th teaspoon of Xantham gum. I beat the batter up and it was too thick. Added one more egg and it was perfect
Using a 1/8 measure I was able to get 12 pancakes. They looked on the small side from what I was used to eating but ate 3 with a strip of bacon (I could always get more ). Wow it was enough and I will have 3 more meals in the freezer. Happy happy!
Lisa
Thanks for sharing! The original recipe did use the additional egg.
Leigh Henderson
Thank you so much for this recipe! They were so good that I doubted they could possibly be low carb, lol. I did add a 1/4 tsp of Xantham Gum, and used salted butter instead of unsalted as I didn't have any on hand. They weren't as pretty as yours, but I prefer misshapen pancakes?.
Lisa
The secret to pretty pancakes that are perfectly round are pancake rings! 😀
Sharon
I've made these twice and really really like them. They were so fluffy! Thank you so much, Lisa! I've had SUCH a craving for pancakes since I've been keto and needed this so badly! 🙂 I never have unsalted butter around, so I used regular butter and just a tiny pinch of added salt. They were perfect! The second time I made them, I wanted to play with flavor, so I added orange essential oil and it was so delicious! I also don't have sugar free syrups around, so I sprinkled mine with erythritol and cinnamon.
For those complaining about the coarseness of coconut flour, it's the brand of coconut flour you're using. A finer grind is what you need. I use Coconut Secret Raw Coconut Flour, it's ground to a powder. In the past, I've had coarse coconut flour too, but found that grinding it in a coffee grinder fixed the problem. Next time I just bought better coconut flour. (Coconut flour will never be as silky as wheat flour, but if you have to give up wheat, it's a true blessing to have a good, fine coconut flour on hand.)
Lisa
Great tip on the coconut flour. I have been using Anthony's and Better Body. I usually use salted butter, but others may think it's too salty.
Georganna Lujin
Oh my goodness these are soooo yummy! I love cream cheese so I used 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. Delicious! These are my new go-to pancakes!!!!!
Lisa
Love the added cream cheese. Thanks for sharing!
Debra
Yum! These were good. Used sour cream. Silicone ring would have made close to 12. Just putting in pan I got 9. Great texture and pancake like. Cook on really low heat and don't flip till slightly set on topside. Thanks for recipe!
Lisa
Thanks for the tips Debra! I'll have to try using sour cream.
kathy
these were pretty darn good. we are doing the atkins diet and was looking for something different for breakfast. made half a recipe to see how they came out. the little pancakes filled the bill nicely.
Lisa
Thanks for writing in Kathy! Wishing you much success on Atkins.
Kyle Phillips
Wouldn't these be carb free? The amount of fiber outnumbers the amount of carbs, by quite a bit in coconut flour
Lisa
There are carbs after deducting fiber so it's low carb but not no carb.
Regina
Do you know approx how many carbs are in one pancake? Even a wild guess??
I made them for the whole family- big winner!
I added half a tsp of Maple extract and another of Hazelnut extract (didint have Vanilla). Please respond about the Carb count so I can add it to my calculator! Cuz I'll be having these every week!
Lisa
It's in the label at the bottom of the recipe.
Angelina
I followed the recipe exactly as it was listed. I really enjoyed them. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.
Lisa
My pleasure.
Kim
The recipe only made three pancakes. It must make twelve if you make very small pancakes. The texture is somewhat dry and crumbly in your mouth. I suppose the solution is an extra egg, but this recipe is already loaded with eggs and other fats. The amount of flour is nominal compared to all the dairy. Low carb is great, but not when it results in pancakes that have over ten grams of fat per pancake (unless you make very small pancakes and only eat one, which doesn't sound filling at all).
Lisa
It may have been your coconut flour. Some is more absorbant than others. And, if the batter was thick, it's best to add in more liquid. I prefer making small silver dollar pancakes and I typically get 10-12 of which 3 is a filling serving that is equivalent to one large pancake.
Sharon
Many who follow a low carb diet are also trying to get more good fats in their diet, so this recipe with the eggs and butter is perfect. For health reasons, my doctor has me following a ketogenic diet and these fit perfectly into that. Fat is good for the body and brain and health.
Also, she did say the recipe makes 12 2-3 inch pancakes. That means you were supposed to make them small.
Marcene
I tried them last night . I got 8 & yes they were small but after 2, I was full. I used coconut sugar, 2% milk as I didn't have sour cream, no water, added some chocolate chips & a thawed frozen banana. Made them lower in carbs. Careful not have fire high. Med is kinda high.
After months of doing w/o flour, Yum.
Lisa
Good tip! The fire definitely needs to be down or they can burn before cooking on the inside.
Jessica
What if I have no stevia packets but I have stevia how much should be put in?
Lisa
You only need like 1 teaspoon sugar equivalent so it depends on the stevia product you are using.
Darcy
Can you substitute with Swerve sweetener?
Lisa
You can use any sweetener. Just use a small amount suitable for one serving. For Swerve, I'd use about a teaspoon.
Kevin
How much stevia is in a packet? I didn't buy packets
Lisa
It's one serving so just use the single serving amount for the stevia that you use.
Madonna Vanzant
I should have used 4 eggs instead of 3. They were thick. I added a little more cream. They were hard to flip over. Made a mess. Tasted good though. I ate them with marscapone cream cheese and strawberries.
Lisa
If the batter is too thick, definitely add in another egg and or other liquid.
Tisa
These were yum. For the people who find them flat, maybe use a little lemon juice in the cream and then add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in addition to the baking powder to the dry ingredients. Plus I used the tinest bit of xantham gum also. Had to add a little water to the batter for second batch but I usually have to thin down regular pancakes also. Mine had plenty of lift while cooking. I didn't expect them to be like regular pancakes but they sure are are a treat when you are low carbing. Thanks for the recipe!
Lisa
Thanks so much for sharing your tips Tisa!
Trish
I added sparkling water. Gives a good boost to the levener.
Melissa
These are awesome !! I used an egg ring (about 6 in wide) purchased from BB&B... loved it ! Made them thicker than the first time I tried this recipe . Thanks Lisa !!
Lisa
You're welcome Melissa! The rings do make a difference!
Rachel
These were great! I only got eight pancakes out of the batch, but so worth it. I also substituted 1/4 cup applesauce instead of the butter to cut calories, they were still great! And I substituted stevia for 3/4 teaspoon Agave. Will definitely make these again!
Lisa
Great subs for those who want gluten free but not low carb!
Kristina
These pancakes are seriously delicious. I ate them all. The entire batch... in one sitting. No way you can eat just one. I'm going to make them again now, but might only make a half batch because I have NO SELF CONTROL ?
Lisa
I eat 3 at a time, and they are small. But, I used to have trouble eating just a few. That's why I freeze them in 3 piece servings so I don't overeat them.
Kathryn Johnson
Made these this morning and enjoyed them! I've been doing keto x 6 1/2 weeks, so this was a really nice "sweet" treat. I did add a tad more cream because my batter looked too thick. Maybe 1 or 2 Tbsp more. I was thinking I could try it next time with a little toasted unsweetened coconut flakes added. Do you think that could/would be good or even work? The texture, of course, is different because of the change in flour, but I'm very happy to have found your recipe! Thank you. Was also thinking of adding a little ricotta cheese or softened cream cheese to the batter. Soooo many possibilities!!! Can't wait for next time. Great idea to make a big batch n save in freezer for easy breakfast or snacks. I like the idea of the peanut powder to switch it up a little, too. #happygirl
Lisa
I've been wanting to try a ricotta pancake. Haven't tried those yet.
Renee
This is my second time making them. They remind me of my mom's pancakes. I used ricotta instead of cream this time around. Also added a bit of bubbly mineral water to thin out the batter and help with the rise . Omitted the sweetner because I don't think it makes a difference, plus I use Lakanto syrup for afterwards. Yummy, yummy.
Lisa
It definitely doesn't need the sweetener, but I find it enhances the taste. Coconut flour is a bit sweet. I've got some ricotta in the fridge so may give that a try.
Zaheeda Tshankie
I remember making these a few months back and the salt was too much, I knew it would be too much but I went against my baking instinct.
Tried them and gain with far less salt and they're a hit with the family. They're great absolutely among the top 2 best recipes I've used.
Lisa
I have received that comment a lot so I adjusted the recipe to use less salt (it's only 1/4 teaspoon whereas it used to be 1/2).
Kathy
These are very good and not eggy tasting at all!! Thanks for the great recipe! ?
Lisa
Thanks for the feedback Kathy! So glad you liked them.
MA
Unfortunately these are no for me. I'm new to keto and never used alternative flours before. I think my coconut flour is too coarse? Its almost like dessicated coconut but smaller pieces . I used only 2 large eggs and its very eggy more than French toast which is sorta the consistency of my pancakes! Not fluffy and soft as pictured. I used whipping cream. The batter was thick at first then I added the flour and it separated I had to keep mixing each spoonful. I had to use double the flour to get it thick enough to spoon as in the video. They do cook and hold together and are edible but I am very dissatisfied with my outcome. Maybe I did something wrong or my ingredients but ?
Lisa
It sounds like your flour wasn't true coconut flour. Sometimes ground up dessicated coconut is sold as coconut flour, but it's not the same thing.
Deb
Agreed! Made these today & they were awful. Used all ingredients mentioned & they all but crumbled in the pan when trying to flip over. Will search more recipes. This one is thumbs down.
Lisa
You may have had the heat too high and may have turned them too early.
Debra
I made these exactly as the recipe reads, except less salt and more cream. Didn't have any trouble with texture, crumbling, or taste. I could have eaten the entire dozen!
Maybe you should try again. Or, altitude can play a role. Do you live at a high altitude?
Brenda
I was worried that My batter was too thick and it appeared as if the butter was separating but I went ahead and tried to cook them anyway without thinning. I dropped a large spoonful of batter in the pan since it was too thick to pour and as the pancake cooked the batter got smoother and they cooked up great.
Tracey
Made these today. They were perfect. I have to find the little round things to make the perfectly round pancakes. I used mine for a vehicle for my taco meat ,cheese ,and sour cream. I will use it for its true purpose this Saturday. This is a keeper.
Lisa
What a great idea! I never thought to use them for tacos.
Courtney
These are the best low carb pancakes I've come across so far. I didn't have low carb syrup so I just used a little cream cheese. Delicious! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
Lisa
My pleasure. I'm glad you enjoyed them as much as I do.
Angie R
Delicious and easy to make. I never keep salted butter, so there was no salt taste to me at all. I sprinkled cinnamon, and I added my own no sugar peanut butter for more protein. I also used Pyure as my sweetener. I made them "low and slow" on my griddle sprayed with coconut oil (about 250 degrees.) If you're using to low carb recipes, these are a cinch! Would pair perfectly with collagen coffee for a breakfast meal. This recipe is a keeper. I'll be stocking my freezer for when baby comes in 2 weeks!
Lisa
That's exactly how I enjoy these... with my collagen coffee!
Monica
I'm going to use Costco extra large eggs because that's what we buy.. should I reduce to 2? Or still use 3?
Lisa
I'd use 2 and see how the batter looks. I think 3 extra large would be too much.
Cheryl
I just made these and they were delicious. Looking for the rings. And a coconut cake now I am craving coconut cake.
Lisa
Any kitchen store should sell the rings. I like the silicone ones as the metal ones can stick.
Cassandra
I just made these pancake..They're pretty good !..They kinda taste like french toast too which I find yummy and they were fluffy ^^ ..I used salted butter and didn't add the salt & they came out well..Thank you for this recipe. This is my first low carb pancake recipe I've tried and I will make it again♥
Lisa
I'm glad these worked out for you! Some did think the original was too salty so I did reduce the amount.
Kali
These were easy to make, quite fluffy, and decent texture for a true pancake substitute. They weren't too eggy or coconut flavored, BUT they were EXTREMELY salty. I should have read the comments before, but noticed you mentioned to use unsalted butter. You probably should put that in the actual recipe. I'll be making these again, but with half the salt and unsalted butter.
Lisa
Sorry about that. I'll get it fixed.
Jen
Wow! After many, MANY ATROCIOUS low carb anything recipies, I must say that these were delicious! ❤️ I have thought about giving up many times despite good losses because the recipies are so awful, plus I can't stand Stevia! The only tweak I did was use a single Splenda pack and add cinnamon. I will be following since you are one of the only ones I've liked ! Thanks for posting this!
Lisa
Thanks so much Jen! 😀
Sigrid
Mine had quite a coarse texture. Plus they turned out way darker than yours, even on very low heat. I would also second all those who say it's too much salt. It was way too much!
Lisa
To reduce salt, use unsalted butter. I cook mine on a griddle at 325F and never had an issue.
Shalom Weiss
Thanks for sharing this recipe, I just tried it. Delicious:) I so used to regular pancakes, so I was not sure what to expect. It's different, but has the same feel and it is yummy.
Lisa
We love these pancakes too! Even the kids eat them.
Michelle
I made these this morning from the exact recipe except I added the cars for a little extra protein, and I think they were fabulous! Will make them again !!!
Lisa
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Shirley Williams
What did you add for protein?
Alisa Ewert
This is what i was searching, You gave perfect recipe and I am Professional Cook your recipe helped a lot.
Thank You
Lisa
Thanks Alisa.
Monica
These are sooooo good! I've made half a dozen low carb pancake recipes over the last year, but none of them were very good. I had almost given up, but decided to give these a try, and boy I'm glad that I did! The texture reminded me of a real whole grain pancake. Yummy!
Lisa
So glad you like them. They are one of my favorites and I usually have some frozen in the freezer. In fact, I reheated a couple for breakfast this morning.
Jessica
Just curious if you think you could sub Greek yogurt or yogurt for the heavy cream ... I have some I need to use up and I was thinking to do it with this on Saturday ...
Lisa
I think it's worth a try. If it's too thick, you can water it down.
Josephine Carroll
Hi Lisa,
Just made these this morning, they taste really good but they are very salty, I used sour cream instead, and 1/2 tsp stevia as I did not have a packet is that the reason?
Thanks for the recipe Lisa.
Lisa
It's likely the butter. You should try unsalted next time.
chad
Hi Lisa,
Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe of your's.
I'm not really fan of pancakes. But now I am.
I've posted it on my site for reference.
Thanks for sharing!
Chad
Lisa
Thanks Chad!
KP
These were good! Mine fluffed up just fine. Use a hot iron skilled sprayed with some coconut oil. I would back off on the salt, though. They have a salty after-taste to me. They reminded me of French toast, so I sprinkled lots of cinnamon on them and used my friend's homemade maple syrup from his trees. Next I'll try the almond flour recipe. Thanks.
Lisa
Yum! I miss real maple syrup. I've never made it myself, but there are a lot of local places here that make it.
Antoinette
I was wondering in order to keep it low carb but add more protein how much protein powder could I add to mix or should I sub the Almond flour out and replace it with a protein powder?
Lisa
I typically sub out almond flour one for one with protein powder.
Barb
If making in a whoopie pie pan how long do you keep them in the oven for?
Lisa
I've never done it before, but I'd think no more than 10-15 minutes at 350F.
Ashley
Im going to try these tomorrow and replace half of the coconut flour with ground flax seed, should bring the carb count down to just about zero but up the protein quite a bit.
Lisa
Hope that works out! You may need a bit more flax than coconut flour.
Marie
I made these today but baked them in woopie pie pan (350 degrees for 12 mins) and added blueberries before cooking. Yum!
Lisa
Whoopie pie molds are perfect for making them nice and round!
Og
I tried iT , i am from THE netherlands. I didnt get no fluff and iT tasted eggy ? Is that picture from the pancakes yours ? I was so excited to make them ?
Lisa
It is. The heavy cream really makes the batter thick so they cook up thick.
Allen
How about adding sparkling. If this sounds good (which I think it does), how much should I add?
Lisa
You could try adding a little sparkling water, but if the batter gets too thin, will need to add more coconut flour.
Ami
I had the same problem except mine also smelled horrible! I followed this recipe to the letter and it tasted like coconut eggs, and smelled like feet. Not even smothering them in my homemade syrup could take the taste/smell away. Threw out the whole batch. Next time I'll read the comments before wasting ingredients.
Lisa
What brand of coconut flour are you using? Are you also making it with large sized eggs? I've made this recipe numerous times without issue.
Brandi
Came home starving & made this recipe. Don't know what I did wrong but my batter looked like brick mortar. It wasn't even useable. So sad
Lisa
Just add more liquid and it should have been fine.
Sara
Did you ever end up making these with the xantham gum?
I have some on hand and trying to decide if i should add it or not.. how much did you/would you add?
Thanks! Pancakes are my addiction and it's so hard to find keto-style ones that taste like actual pancakes. Excited to try these!
Lisa
I find they don't need xanthan gum.
Katrina
Sara if these didn't work try this one
In a counter mixer (i cant afford a bukket i got a 9 dollar walmart one) add 1 egg, 2oz cream cheese, 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream, dash salt, dash vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and 1 scoop protein powder and blend. I mix mine up with Quest peanut butter powder and add cocoa powder. Or I do 1/4 cup no sugar added canned apples and cinnamon and pecans and then mix with quest salted caramel protein powder. Quest is sweet enough I never add sweetener but depends on your powder you use. Best pancakes ever cooked in butter. Eat with bacon and you will never miss regular pancakes!
Michael Thurman
I had to add more liquid to mine after it sat for a bit and came out incredible. Will be stocking these in the freezer.
Lisa
I find that coconut flour does vary a bit and if you let it sit, it will thicken. Good to know they came out okay adding in more liquid!
Vanessa
These were delicious! Followed the recipe exactly and topped with a homemade sugar free blueberry compote. Thank you!!
Lisa
You're welcome Vanessa!
Jane
Could you substitute almond flour for the coconut flour? Has anyone tried it and would it be 1 to 1?
Thanks,
Jane
Lisa
You're better off just making the almond flour pancakes recipe instead.
Jon
Hey there, this looks like a nice recipe. I'm wondering, if I wanted to add 3 scoops of Quest Protein Powder, do you think it could work? Would what I need to omit in order to accommodate the extra protein?
Lisa
From my experience, protein powder can be used in place of some flour. 3 scoops seems like a lot so you'd have to up some of the other ingredients until you got a batter that works.
Heather
I love these!! I left out the stevia & vanilla & made waffles for a bacon & tomato grilled cheese. Delicious. Thank you!!!
Lisa
Yum! That does sound delicious!
Sandy Lane
I made these and they were fantastic! I used Heavy Cream and doubled the vanilla. They were fluffy & tasty!! They just didn't make 12 servings. My spouse and I both had 3 pancakes a piece and I even sprinkled some flaky coconut on top 😉 We are both on a low carb diet and I used sugar-free syrup in moderation.
Lisa
I got 12 small pancakes which a serving might be 3 of them or more.
Lisa Burney
I made these and they were absolutely delicious!! But I also only got 6 small pancakes out of it.
Lisa
I like making silver dollar size pancakes which are very small.
Lori
Just made these exactly according to the recipe and they were perfect! Even fed them to my 11 year old grandson who hates coconut but I didn't tell him what they were made of and he loved them! No coconut taste whatsoever. They just tasted like soft fluffy delicious pancakes. You have made my keto life a little better and I will definitely make these again (and again). ?
Lisa
Love that he couldn't detect the coconut!
Amanda
Hi I tried the recipe and followed it exactly I had everything on hand. However my pancakes came out extremely thin and I'm trying to figure out what I might have done wrong. I checked my baking powder and it's not expired has a whole year left but it is called double acting do you think that's a problem? I trust your recipe is good as I've tried several others of yours and they've all been good so I'm trying to figure out what I did LOL.
Lisa
If I don't use heavy cream, the pancakes do come out thin and flat. Was your cream the highest fat?
Keto Mom
The best pancake ever. My husband said he never wants another kind of pancake. I cooked them in coconut oil. Definitely a staple at our house.
Lisa
So glad the hubby enjoys them! I wish I could convince my husband to eat them.
Mayda
I didn't have heavy cream used half and half. They were delicious just not fluffy enough.
Lisa
It's the HWC that makes them fluffy so that's to be expected.
Allison
Oh. My. Word. Amazing! Made low carb blueberry compote to go with and it is the perfect start to my day!!
Lisa
Yum on the blueberry compote!
Zaheeda Tshankie
I have no words for these, my 21 month old boy kept asking for more haha. The taste is just wow
Lisa
That's awesome! So glad he liked them 🙂
Anne
These pancakes are AMAZING!! My whole family loved them, even my pickiest eaters. Like another commenter, I used only 3 eggs. They turned out perfect and the closest I've had to flour pancakes. Thank you for this great recipe!! ?
Lisa
I will make a note of the 3 eggs!
Ching
OMG i made this and it is delish! I did not follow the entire recipe but still turned up great. I made a bacon and egg sandwich with tomatoes and avocado. It is very filling!
Lisa
The breakfast sandwich is a great idea!
Phyl
Could these be made with egg whites only (I'm allergic to egg yolks)? Would probably need to use more egg white to equal what is missing by leaving out the yolk. I wasn't sure if it would change the overall texture of the pancakes
Lisa
I've never used all egg whites. But, it's worth a try. The standard sub is 2 egg whites for a whole egg.
Phyl
I'll be the test case and let you know how they turn out. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make a comparison the original version which uses the yolks, too.
Phyl
We tried these this morning using all egg whites rather than whole eggs. I thought they were good but my husband didn't care for them (he doesn't like change of any kind). When I make them again, I would use less salt because they tasted quite salty to me -- assuming that might be from using all egg whites, but not sure. Thank you for sharing the recipe!
Gordana Minovska
I agree about the salt. It is too much for me too.
Moon
Excellent!!! Very tasty and fluffly pancakes!! Love it! 🙂 (but i just got 6 of them 🙁 maybe i made them too big or fluffly hahaha) thanks for the recipe!! For next time I will try to make some homemade syrup! <3
Lisa
I make mine very small, almost silver dollar sized.
Priscilla Ciochetto
Only 6 for me too! The taste is deeeelicious and reminds me of pancake house pancakes. I just looked up and noticed you made them silver dollar size which would explain the quantity difference but non the less...a home run for our house. 2 of us are low carb enthusiasts and always on the look out for different type of breakfast foods.
I just made these and will double the batch tomorrow and freeze some. Thank you so much. Happy dancing going on here. Priscilla C
Diane Cuc
I loved loved loved these. My go to recipe from here forward. Light, fluffy, golden. Perfect! I too only got 7 pancakes, about 3" in size. I didnt notice them to be salty, however I used unsalted butter. If I use salted butter next time, could I omit the addition of 1/2 tsp. Salt? Thanks, Diane
Lisa
I'd omit the salt. I must really like salt because I'm okay with the recipe as is.
LSS
Can I use eggbeater for part of the eggs? Just thinking cholesterol!!
Lisa
Nothing wrong with eating cholesterol, but you can sub if desired.
Marisela
Marisela from ☆ Texas: preparandolos ahorita, deliciosos!! resultaron casi 10 pancakes, use solo 3 huevos, imitation hazelnut extract, no muy esponjaditos, pero si ligeros, buen sabor y muy facil de preparar...Gracias por compartir recetas sin gluten. Feliz Navidad! !♡♡
Lisa
Me encanta la idea de añadir extracto de avellana Marisela! ¡Disfrute sus vacaciones!
Debbie
These are really good! Have you tried using Ghee instead of butter and if so do they turn out as good?
Lisa
I haven't tried ghee, but I'm thinking it would work okay.
Judy G
Hi. I would like to try these. I am a little confused. In the directions it says to mix coconut flour with baking powder but the ingredients does not list baking powder?
Lisa
It's below the ad (sorry, they pop up in the recipe box). The amount is 1/2 teaspoon.
Jessica Ureña
Hi I want to cook but my daughter has problems with dairy how I can sustitute butter and heavy cream
Thanks
Lisa
You could try coconut cream and coconut oil. The heavy cream helps give a fluffy pancake so you'd need a similar ingredient like coconut cream.
Janet
I didn't use heavy cream but sour cream and it worked really well.
Lisa
Thanks for the note!
Lydia
Is there a substitute for stevia? Or maybe how much is 1 packet?
I have stevia in like a jar.
Lisa
A packet is equal to about 1 teaspoon of sugar if you want to do the conversion.
Ray
Goggle it. There will be a few answers and go with the most common. I find that is usually more reliable than a conversion.
Priscilla
I made these today and I must say they came out very moist! I also just used 3 eggs instead of 4. Thanks for the recipe! I will definitely use it often in my low carb lifestyle.
Lisa
Thanks for the note! I was going to try using less eggs to see if it improved taste.
txgrandma
I just tried these yesterday and they are the best recipe I've tried yet. They look and taste like real pancakes to me. IMO-far superior to almond flour pancakes. Thanks!
Lisa
Glad the recipe worked out for you. There does seem to be some variations with coconut flour that may need adjusting.
Rachel
These tasted like omlettes to me! Yuck, with a sweetness to them. I found them unpallettable, until I smeared gobs of peanut butter all over them to get them down the hatch. I used nutiva butter flavored coconut oil in place of butter, but nothing masked the egginess.
Lisa
I'll be reworking this recipe to see if I can tone down the egg taste.
Sylvia
I loved these pancakes. Very filling. But the nutrition info changed when I put into Bigoven.
Lisa
I need to recalculate some of these older recipes. They were done from label information with the brand of ingredients used.
Beverly
I have heavy whipping cream. Can I substitute for the heavy cream?
Kathy Prince
Heavy Cream and Heavy Whipping Cream are virtually the same thing and are interchangeable in any recipe. The only difference is the amount of milk fat in them. The Heavy Cream has slightly more milk fat. So it produces a thicker whipped cream that holds up longer once whipped. The Whipping Cream makes a lighter whipped cream and it breaks down faster. As far as recipes go, it cooks the same, just adds or reduces the total fat content shown in the Nutritional Information.
Lisa
Great info! Thanks for sharing.
D. Copeland
I made these and they were very good . I only used 3 eggs tho and they turned out great !
Lisa
Good to know 3 eggs work. Thanks!
Anna
This recipe has worked out very well for me. It is definitely a keeper.
Lisa
Great to know! Thanks so much for the comment!
Rochelle
Can you keep the batter in the refrigerator for a few days?
I have been making the egg/cream cheese pancakes. They just taste a bit eggy for me. I like this idea of coconut flour ones.
Lisa
You should be able to keep it in the fridge. If it gets flat, jut whip it back up. It may get thick sitting. If that happens, add a bit more liquid.
DeeDee
I make mine all up, then pop 2 into the toaster to warm up when needed. I've even froze them. Works great!
Lisa
I've never tried the toaster. Good idea!
Angela
I just made these pancakes and they were delicious; a little dry but had a lot of flavor. I topped them with sugar-free honey that I found in Walmart. Any suggestions so that they are not so dry?
Lisa
Adding more butter or oil should get rid of any dryness.
Pj
Sugar free honey?? How could that be and what the heck is in it?? Got to research that one...LOL
Lisa
There isn't sugar free honey, but there is Sukrin Gold Syrup which is the closest thing that I've found to honey. It can be subbed one for one, but it may cause insulin to spike due to all the fiber.

I don't know that I would try it but that is what they were referring to.
Laura tucker
I use trivia nectar...looks and tastes like honey but made with stevia. You only use half what you would honey and very low carb! Gestational diabetic here and have to really watch carbs!
Lisa
I have seen that, but it does have a bit more carbs than some people allow.
Karin MARSHALL
What kind of sirup do you use?
Lisa
I like the pancake syrup made by Walden Farms because it is carb and calorie free.
Melodie
I puree either strawberries, raspberries or blueberries to top my pancakes....very good !
Lisa
That sounds like a great way to top them off. Yum!
Retiredwithnoregrets
A friend on MixingBowl.com shared a coconut pancake recipe with me some time ago. I loved it! So I know these are very good.
