Prep
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Break up any lumps - coconut flour clumps easily and needs to be evenly distributed.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy, about 30 seconds. Add the coconut milk, honey, vanilla, and melted coconut oil. Whisk until smooth.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet. Stir with a spatula just until combined. The batter will be thick - thicker than wheat pancake batter. Let it rest for 5 minutes so the coconut flour can fully hydrate.
Cook the pancakes
- Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Add a thin layer of coconut oil and let it warm for 1 minute.
- Scoop batter by heaping 1/4 cupfuls onto the pan. Use the back of the measuring cup to gently spread into 4-inch rounds. Cook until edges look set and small bubbles form on top, about 3 to 4 minutes. Flip carefully - these are delicate - and cook until golden on the second side, 2 to 3 minutes more.
- Transfer finished pancakes to a plate and keep warm in a 200F oven. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil as needed. Serve warm with butter, fresh berries, or additional maple syrup.
Notes
Coconut flour is extremely absorbent - do not try to substitute other flours 1:1. The batter thickness is correct; if it seems too thick, add coconut milk 1 tablespoon at a time. For extra fluffy pancakes, separate the eggs and whip the whites to soft peaks, then fold in at the end. Leftovers refrigerate well for 3 days; reheat in a toaster for best texture.
