Have you ever made pancakes that weren’t from a box? I hope you have, because they are so easy to make and taste so good. Pancakes can turn an OK morning into a great morning — they’re the perfect way to kick off a day.

But if you’ve steered clear from them because gluten is an issue or because you weren’t quite sure how to make a healthy version, you’re in luck.

These Coconut Flour Pancakes are prepared with nutrition-rich coconut flour, with not a grain in sight. The coconut sugar and applesauce give the coconut flour pancakes a little added sweetness the all-natural way. In fact, you likely have everything on hand to make these right now!

By the way, these pancakes also qualify as Paleo, low-carb and gluten-free. Enjoy!

How to Make Coconut Flour Pancakes

In a large bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients and set aside. In a smaller bowl, whisk all the dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and whisk together until no lumps remain.

Then let the bowl sit for 5 minutes.

Then, add coconut oil to a large skillet heated over medium heat and fry the pancakes. Flip ’em after about 3 minutes on each side or once the dough is bubbly.

Serve these coconut flour pancakes warm loaded with your favorite toppings. Maple syrup, fresh fruit or my coconut whipped cream all taste fantastic.

Make your mornings a little more special — or have the best “breakfast at dinner” ever — with these coconut flour pancakes.
