Pancakes is one of my favorite things to have for breakfast but they are definitely not the most healthiest things around. I treat myself to them once a week and I have been experimenting with different ingredients to try and make them as healthy as possible. Recently I have been trying out Coconut Flour which has a lot more protein and less carbs in it than standard flour, it is also gluten free and high in fiber. The first thing I noticed about the flour is that it absorbs liquid a lot more than any other flour so you really don't need a lot. To make 3 small pancakes all you need is -25g of Coconut Flour100ml of milk (I use Almond Milk)1 egg. I just whisk the ingredients together until its all combined and the mixture is smooth. Then with a small ladle pour a third of the mixture into a flat hot pan. I use coconut oil in the pan to stop the pancake from sticking and I found that the best way to cook them is to take your time and cook them on a low heat. The coconut flour makes the pancakes a bit crumbly and a lot more fragile than standard pancakes so handle with care. These are really delicious and quite sweet even though they are fairly low in sugar. Plus I find they fill me up for longer too.
