Ingredients

  • 6 6 eggeggs
  • ½ cup 125 ml (60 g) coconut flour
  • ¾ cup 180 ml coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 1 pinch 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tsp 1 tsp (5 g) baking powder
  • butter or coconut oil for frying

Instructions

Instructions are for 4 servings. Please modify as needed.

  1. Separate the yolks from the egg whites and whip the egg whites and pinch of salt vigorously with a hand mixer. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form and then set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together yolks, oil and coconut milk.
  3. Add coconut flour and baking powder. Mix into a smooth batter.
  4. Ever so gently fold the egg whites into the batter. Let batter rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Fry in butter or coconut oil for a couple of minutes or so on each side on low to medium heat.
  6. Serve with melted butter and/or fresh berries.

Tip!

Don’t skimp on the fat in your frying pan. Butter and coconut oil make everything taste better. Consider a dollop of crème fraîche on top... so scrumptious!

    Helen, I made a batch and cooked 3 at a time for myself in a smallish skillet. I kept it in a container in the fridge for almost a week, making 3 every day or two. I made 3 pancakes 5 different times. They weren't as fluffy after the first time, but I still thought they were great! The batter separated a bit so I stirred it up before using it.

    Made these for two. The batter was very thick and I added much more than stated coconut milk from a carton. They did not flip well or hold together and I ended up throwing the mixture away. I notice some people had success however.

    The "coconut flour" (hyperlinked) used in this recipe has a nutritional carbohydrate value of 8.9g per 100g. The carbohydrate value of standard coconut flour is approximately 60g of carbs per 100g, which I believe most people are using and critically affects the "low carb" rating. Please comment.

    After a year on the keto diet, I find I miss my morning pancakes. I made these today, and they were quite good. They weren’t a replacement for my old favorite pancakes, but they were respectable. The batter is completely different than traditional pancakes. It’s thick at first then fluffy after you incorporate the meringue. (The preparation is similar to Oopsie Bread.) The pancakes are thicker than I expected, but they have a very nice texture. I served them with melted butter, creme fraiche, and fresh berries. I’m going to explore other keto pancake recipes before I make these again. Still searching for a new favorite.

    This is more like omlet. Only taste that you can feel is eggs(not in a good way).
    Unfortunately it ended up in the garbage bin. I've tried several receipes from this page but this is the first one that went this bad.

    When I entered this on 'My Fitness Pal' I got 9.3 grams of carbs. The dietary fiber was 5.0 grams which would give me a net carb count as 4 grams, not 3. Do you know why?

    I too found this recipe not easy to make and I bake all the time, admittedly not normally with these ingredients, the taste was like an omelette and like someone else said not in a good way, I struggled to eat a couple of mouthfuls. Congratulations to those of you that have had success with this recipe and enjoyed it, would be great if DD could add a video for this recipe!

    Not a fan, all I taste is egg! I love eggs but this was so off putting in a pancake. Will not make again.

    I made these yesterday and they were delicious! I loved the texture, I ate two with butter and a sprinkle of salt. I made half the batter, then added coconut flakes to the rest of the batter to make them more "coconutty". Make them small, because they did tend to spread once I flipped them. I like this better than another recipe for low carb coconut pancakes I tried previously.

    The pancakes taste better if they are made with just egg whites. They won't taste like an omelet.

    I loved these. ..they do take a little longer to cook than regular pancakes but they were delicious and not eggy at all.
    I will definitely make them again. The fact that I can store the leftover batter in the fridge makes this a win win.
    I also added a few drops of stevia to the batter.

    Made these this morning. I like to use metric measurements when I use any type of flour, I get a better result, usually. I did not check the metric measurements on the coconut flour first. According to the information on the coconut flour container, there are 16 g in 2 tbsp (I checked this after I had measured according to the 125g that is stated in the recipe). I had a thick mess, not batter, after trying to mix it. I ended up adding more coconut milk. The taste was fine in the finished product but will yield more net carbs. The metric measurement should be 64g coconut flour.

    I really like the recipe for “diner pancakes” from the Keto connect/ “Keto Made Easy” couple. It’s quick and tasty.

    Hi, I know it has been a while since you commented, but have you substract the fiber amount from the carbs? That will give you the net carbs value, which is what matters here.

    These were hard for me to eat because of the taste and then I had nausea afterwards. The egg white and almond flour combination for "bread" just does NOT work for me! This was a complete letdown.

    I made them 2 times already, and with a little stevia they are great. I have them with berries. For me it was easy to make . I prepare larger portions and I keep them in the freezer.

    Just started my Keto diet...day 3. Feeling more than a bit achy. This pancakes were surprisingly good. Even my husband who hates coconut anything said they were good. I’m saving the rest for tomorrow. Gotta go buy up all the eggs at the store!

    They were a little too eggy for me. They would have been much nicer with maple syrup. Although they would defeat the idea of being Keto. Not a huge fan of these.

    These are light and flipped easily but I found them very 'eggy' as well - omlette like. Prefer the other pancake options.

    These were amazing and fluffy! They were like “real” pancakes that I was craving so much.

    They didn’t come together when at all. Moisture was odd. Broke to pieces when I tried to whi and didn’t taste nice at all. Kind of like burnt scrambled eggs with coconut sprinkled in and that released moisture as you bite into then. Absolute waste of ingredients and I also think they have a lot more carbs than indicated

    Just finished having a batch and I liked them. Had them with a half cup of raspberries for sweetness, but could have probably had some butter on top as the coconut likes to take the moisture from your mouth.
    I did the recipe for 2 servings and although I was unsure of the consistency of the batter as it was thick enough to pick up (unlike the runny batter of normal pancakes) they cooked nicely and came out like fluffy cake in the middle.
    I used small eggs. Would be a good idea to say which size eggs to use in list as others seems to have issues of tasting egg.
    Anyway, will enjoy my second serving tomorrow and will make again.

    For this, or any recipe for that matter that uses coconut milk, can you specify if it’s the canned coconut milk or refrigerated coconut milk? There’s a big difference in the thickness between the two. Thanks!

    They just taste like eggs. I had to throw them away. Never again.

    My mum and I loved them. They are a bit eggy but what can you expect when the recipe is mostly egg. The texture was fluffy and lovely, felt like a real pancake and was a real treat with our Keto strawberry syrup and whipped cream. We will definitely be making these again.

    I’m new to Keto. These were horrible. I had to chase every bite with a drink to mask the taste. Will not try these again.
