Default Coconut Flour Pancakes

I like doing this recipe in a quart mason jar and using my immersion blender with the whisk attachment. Then there isn't too much to clean up afterwards.

Heat oil in a pan on the stove top.

Mix up:

2 heaping Tbl. of coconut flour
1 tsp of baking powder

Optional spices and flavors (cinnamon, splenda, nutmeg, splenda etc)
Optional to help rise and make it easier to turn (glucomanan flour -- 1/4-1/2 tsp, xanthan gum -- a pinch)
Optional -- 1 heaping Tbl of hemp hearts (Just because I have a lot I need to use up!)

Mix all the dry ingredients using the whisk attachment.

Add in:

2 eggs

Whisk them in. Let the mixture set for 5 minutes or so and add enough water to make it pourable but thick and whisk again.

Pour into the pan and cook about 4-5 minutes each side, but don't burn them.

I serve it with butter, sugar free syrup (like Monin boysenberry) and sometimes frozen raspberries that I heat in the microwave.

DELICIOUS!

Optionally: Drop some chopped nuts into the batter -- pecan pieces are great for that.

I realized I had a lot of psyllium husk to use up (found them in the freezer but don't remember buying it). I have been making pancakes out of it a lot lately. I pretty much make it the same way as your pancakes but since I just eye everything I put in I sometimes need to add some water to thin it out.

I hadn't thought to try the coconut flour instead. Maybe next time.

Those DO sound good, Nancy! I've been meaning to try hemp hearts. I think my Natural Grocers will have that.

You might need more almond flour because coconut flour absorbs liquid like mad.
