Weekly Recipe
I came across this recipe a few weeks ago, and I had never heard of coconut flour. Because of the huge increase in gluten sensitivities today we have had to come up with ways to make things without wheat flour. Unlike wheat flour, coconut flour is gluten-free, contains only 8g of carbs per serving (5g of fiber, 3g usable carbs), 2g of protein, and 2g of healthy (saturated) fat. This is pretty impressive when one considers that a serving is only one tablespoon. You should be able to find coconut flour in the gluten-free section of the grocery store, or any health food store. They are a little more fragile than regular pancakes (at least the first time I made them), but they are extremely filling!
Coconut Flour Pancakes
3 eggs (preferably pastured)
3 tablespoons butter (preferably butter from grass-fed cows) or coconut oil, melted (plus extra butter or coconut oil for cooking the pancakes)
3 tablespoons coconut milk, whole milk, or heavy cream (preferably raw, from grass-fed cows)
1 1/2 teaspoons raw honey (regular honey or real maple syrup works too)
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
3 tablespoons coconut flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1. Using a wire whisk, mix together eggs, melted butter, milk, honey, and sea salt.
2. Continuing to whisk, add the baking powder and coconut flour until thoroughly mixed.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter (or coconut oil) in a skillet on a medium flame.
4. Spoon batter onto skillet and enjoy!
