These coconut flour pancakes are the perfect filling, wholesome breakfast. They’re gluten-free, grain-free and take just a few minutes to make!
First of all, I know I’m going a little crazy with the breakfast foods over here. We had quinoa bowls, veggie-packed steel cut oats and now pancakes. I have to throw a sorry not sorry out here though, because we all know breakfast foods are the best foods. Don’t act like you don’t love it.
Friends, I am bringing back a little piece of Balanced Berry history for you today. I originally posted this recipe back in August 2014 when I was still getting my arms around this whole “blogging” thing. Who am I kidding? I’m still trying to get my arms around this whole “blogging” thing. Nonetheless, this is an awesome recipe that got lost among all my other posts. In case you want a little blast from the past from a true blogging newb, check out this sweet photo.
Perhaps this recipe got lost from that stunning (sarcasm) photo I took on my iPad. Uhh yeah, I didn’t even have the decency to use my phone. I kind of cringe just looking at that picture. Or maybe it got lost because this was during the time where I had started the blog, but didn’t tell a single soul about it. I was just creeping around on the internet. Again, who am I kidding? I still don’t ever really talk about my blog, and I do still creep around on the internet – I just take slightly better photos now. 😉
All of that to say, this recipe deserved to be resurrected because these pancakes are damn good and are incredibly easy to make. They come out tender, fluffy and are incredibly filling thanks to high fiber content of the coconut flour. I even had a few taste testers including a very honest three year old try them, and they received a thumbs up all around!
So if you’re looking for a tasty gluten-free alternative to your weekend pancakes, or just really like pancakes (which is everyone, right?) give these a shot.
- 1 Egg plus 1 Egg White
- ¼ Cup Coconut Flour
- 1 Tablespoon Honey
- ⅓ Cup Almond Milk
- ¼ Teaspoon Baking Soda
- 2 Tablespoons Greek Yogurt
- Splash of Vanilla
- Pinch of Salt
- ¼ Teaspoon Cinnamon
- ¼ cup of blueberries
- Spray a medium skillet with non-stick spray and warm over medium-low heat.
- Mix the coconut flour, salt, cinnamon and baking soda together in a small bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, eggs, vanilla, yogurt, and honey.
- Add wet mixture to dry ingredients and whisk until all ingredients are combined and a batter forms.
- Fold in blueberries.
- Scoop about ⅓ cup of batter into the pan at a time, and cook over low-medium heat for a few minutes until bubbles start to form. Carefully flip and cook on the other side. Repeat until all batter is prepared.
- Serve immediately.
Your Turn:
- What are some of your favorite breakfast foods?
- Bloggers: do you look back at some of your old posts and cringe a little?
These pancakes look amazing! And I definitely agree that breakfast foods are the best. 🙂
Thanks Ashlyn! Breakfast foods really are the best 🙂
That photo still looks beyond good to me!! Hahaha! But of course…pancakes can never look bad!
Haha bless your heart!
These are beautiful!! I have SO much coconut flour, but it’s so hard to find recipes that don’t use eggs. Let the testing begin!
Ah! I shall do some vegan-friendly recipe testing with it as well!
I cringe to look back at my first pictures on my blog, too!! 😉 But you’ve improved so much, your photos are stunning!
Thank you so much Sarah! It was definitely a process 😉
True story: saw these and immediately got inspiration to make pancakes today sooooooo thanks for that 😀 These look awesome and I actually love that they’re single serve. PS that “before” photo from 2014 isn’t even bad…. I mean, at least it’s styled!! My early photos are so, so bad.
I am so glad I can inspire your pancakes 🙂 And girl, you take some of my favorite photos!
Yum yum yum! These look fantastic, and I love that they’re made with coconut flour! Coconut flour is such a head-scratcher for me, so I love seeing all of the creative ways it can be used!
Coconut flour is so fun to work with! It definitely takes some experimenting, but can be really tasty in the right recipe!
LOL me when I look back at my old photos, too… *cringe* Your photos are absolutely stunning so do not sell yourself short. These look so yummy, I’ve never used coconut flour! Must try!
Thanks girl! Coconut flour is fun to work with once you get the hang of it! Just remember to use lots of liquid
Girl I agree that these pancakes needed resurrection. They look absolutely delicious!! I can’t have eggs but I will still try it out. My family would love them for sure.
Thank you so much Krystal! They were too tasty not to share again 🙂 I hope your family loves them! Maybe a flax egg would work for an egg-free version?
Creeping your blog (obvs) and came across this gem. I have soooo many cringe-worthy photos or posts with all the exclamation marks. It’s kind of ridiculous lol
I’ve only updated photos on one post and I actually hate those as well…oops. But I’ve tweaked the content in a lot of my other photos because my over excited writing bugs me way more than the bad photos haha
Hahahaha Giselle, I love you. Updating photos on my old post is my trick for feeling like I’m posting when I have no ideas…
Made these pancakes and they are so delicious you would NEVER know they are healthy. The batter is super fluffy. It is a little challenging to get the pancakes to stay together on the griddle/flip – but I don’t care how they look, just how they taste…and how they taste is YUM!!
I am so glad you liked them Sheila!
