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 diet. These pancakes use coconut flour, but you can also try my popular almond flour pancakes recipe.

I decided to try a low carb pancakes recipe using coconut flour. There are a lot of people with nut allergies who can’t have almonds. Flour made from defatted coconut is a terrific option for those who need a nut-free recipe.

These gluten free low carb coconut flour pancakes turned out lighter than the almond flour ones. And, they don’t have the nutty flavor of the almonds. I didn’t find them to have a strong coconut flavor either, which was great.

I may try adding a little xanthan gum next time as it is supposed to make up for the gluten in wheat free and low carb breads. However, it’s not really needed.

And, although there are three to four eggs used for the batter, I don’t find these pancakes eggy. I serve them with butter and low carb maple flavored syrup and they taste just like regular ones.

Low carb coconut flour pancakesI thought this low carb coconut flour pancake recipe tasted delicious as is. But, I’m always looking for ways to tweak a recipe to make it a little better.

Some my prefer a thinner batter, but I find that results in thin pancakes. That’s why I keep my batter thick. I tried using almond milk, but the batter was way too thin. So be sure to use heavy cream or sour cream.

If you want to make a large batch for quick breakfast treats later, go ahead. I always double or triple the recipe since I already have the griddle out.

They freeze very well. And when you are ready to eat them, there’s no need to thaw. Just pop a frozen stack of pancakes in the microwave to reheat any time you want!

Want perfectly round pancakes? Then use a round pancake ring. It’s ensures that you get a perfect circle every time! However, I find just using a ladle results in pretty even circles.

There are also great low carb options when it comes to syrup. You can always make your own. But, I haven’t had the time to work on my own recipe

And, I don’t have a lot of time to make my own homemade pancake syrup. I love the new syrup by Lakanto, but Walden Farms sells this one that is both calorie and carb free!

I stay away from the sugar free syrups in the grocery store. They tend to have more carbs than I like to see. But, if it’s all you can find, just be sure not to go overboard with carbs.

I’ve been eating the almond flour pancakes for a while, but I like the lighter texture of these low carb coconut flour pancakes. If you’ve tried both, which one do you prefer?

If you’re looking for other keto friendly pancakes to try, I put together a collection of low carb pancake recipes. I’ve made some oat fiber buttermilk pancakes that remind me of the ones I used to get at a local restaurant.

Cream cheese pancakes are super low in carbs and I even have some flourless cinnamon egg fast pancakes that comes together quickly with only 2 grams of net carbs for the whole batch.

And, if you’ve fallen in love with coconut flour, you’ll love this low carb recipe collection using the flour. It’s got some fantastic bread, muffins, and cakes you can make.

If you try these pancakes, I’d love to know what you think about them in the comments. Or, if you end up making changes for better or worse, I’d like to hear those too.

Notes

Original recipe called for 4 eggs, but experience has shown 3 is better and makes the pancakes less eggy. Also, additional cream can be added if batter is too thick.
Makes 12 small silver dollar sized pancakes. You'll get fewer pancakes if the size is bigger than 2-3 inches wide.
The batter should be thick and it will thicken as it sits. Because it's a thick batter, after placing on the griddle, it should be flattened out a bit with the back of a spoon as needed.
If the outside browns up before the inside cooks, your cooking temperature is likely too high. Test with a small single pancake before adding more to ensure the the temperature is right. This is also a good test to make adjustments to the batter if needed before cooking the entire batch.
Be sure to read the text and watch the tutorial video above the recipe card for more tips on making perfect pancakes.

  2. 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. 😯

    Reply

  3. Just tried the recipe. Tasted great. Little gritty. Is that a side affect of yhe coconut flour itself? Any way to make it smoother?

    Reply

  4. 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!

  5. 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.

  7. 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 .

    Reply

  8. 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?

    Reply

  9. 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!

  10. 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.

    Reply

  11. 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!

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

    Reply

  15. 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!

    Reply

  16. 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 🙂

  17. 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.

  18. 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!!!

  19. 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!

    • 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.

    • 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. 👍

      Reply

  20. 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.

    Reply

  21. 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.

    Reply

  23. 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!! 🙂

    • 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.

      Reply

  24. 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!

    Reply

  25. 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.

    Reply

  26. 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 .

    Reply

  27. 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

    Reply

  28. 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.

    Reply

  29. 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!

    Reply

  31. 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!!!!

    Reply

      • 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.

        Reply

  32. 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!

    Reply

      • 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!

        Reply

    • 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…

  33. 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!

    • 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.

      Reply

      • 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!

        Reply

  34. 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.

  35. 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!

    Reply

  37. 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!!!

    Reply

  38. 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.

    Reply

  39. Wow, loved these! First Keto style pancakes I’ve really liked, thank you so much for the recipe!

    Reply

  40. 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.

    • The recipe does count a serving as three small pancakes. There can be variations in coconut flour that requires some adjusting.

  41. First time using coconut flour and first keto pancake recipe! Topped with butter and Walden’s syrup. My tastebuds are very happy. Thank you!!!!!

  42. 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.

    Reply

    • 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!!

      Reply

      • 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.

  43. 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!

    Reply

  44. 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.

  45. 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!

    These are brilliant and a life saver on my 4th day on Keto – the cravings are killing me

    Reply

  48. 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.

  49. Followed recipe using sour cream, added juice and zest from half a lemon: DELISH! Topped with sugar free raspberry compote.

  50. 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.

    Reply

  52. 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!

    Reply

  53. I am wondering if you can use half & half instead of heavy cream?

    also about how long did you cook them on each side?

    Reply

    • 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.

      Reply

  55. 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!

    Reply

  56. 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!

  59. 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!

  61. 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!!

  62. 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.

      • 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

        • 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.

          Reply

  65. 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?

    Reply

    • 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.

  66. 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 about 1 SP per pancake!!!! If you follow WW.

    • 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! 🙂

  70. 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!!! ❤️

  71. 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!

  73. 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.

    • 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.

      Reply

      • 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.

    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!!!

  75. 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!

  77. 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!

    • 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.

  87. 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?

    Reply

  88. 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.

    Reply

    • 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.

      Reply

  89. 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! ❤️🎁

  90. 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.

    Reply

  91. 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!

    Reply

      • 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.

  95. 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!

    Reply

    • 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.

  96. 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?

  97. 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!

    Reply

  98. 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.

  99. 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!

  100. 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 🙂

  101. 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.

    Reply

    • 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.

      Reply

      • 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!

        Reply

  102. 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😜.

    Reply

  103. 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.)

  109. 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).

    Reply

    • 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.

      Reply

    • 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.

      Reply

      • 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.

  113. 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!

  117. 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

      • 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.

  120. 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 😢

        • 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.

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!

I’ll be making these again, but with half the salt and unsalted butter.

    • 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.

      • 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.

  142. 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

      • 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!

          • 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!

    • 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.

      • 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!

  143. These were delicious! Followed the recipe exactly and topped with a homemade sugar free blueberry compote. Thank you!!

  145. 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?

    Reply

    • 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.

  146. I love these!! I left out the stevia & vanilla & made waffles for a bacon & tomato grilled cheese. Delicious. Thank you!!!

  147. 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.

  148. 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). 👍

  149. 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.

  150. 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.

  154. 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!! 😀

  155. 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!

  156. 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

    Reply

      • 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.

        Reply

        • 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!

  157. 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

    Reply

    • 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

    • 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
