Low-Carb Pancakes (Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free)

Low-Carb Pancakes (Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free)

Ingredients

* Optional Substitution Note

Ingredients for 1 serving:

  • Wet
    • 4 egg whites
      • Substitutes: whole eggs or milled flax seed (vegan option)
    • 1/3 cup coconut cream
      • Substitutes: Greek yogurt, heavy cream (dairy option) or almond butter with a little almond milk
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Dry
    • 1/3 cup coconut flour
      • Substitutes: fine almond flour 
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 packet (1g) Stevia in the raw
      • Substitutes: raw sugar, raw honey
  • Garnish
    • low-calorie (sugar-free) maple syrup
    • cinnamon to taste

Steps

Step 1

Mix together all the dry ingredients in a small bowl.

Step 2

Tip for fluffy pancakes: In a separate bowl, beat egg whites (or eggs) with a pinch of sea salt until they are fluffy and almost appears like a foam. This will likely take about 5 or 6 minutes if doing it by hand (but the upside is you’ll burn some calories in the process).

Step 3

Add the dry ingredients to the egg whites and nix together.  Then add the coconut cream and vanilla extract.  Mix together.  If you find that the mixture is too thick, then simply add tablespoons of coconut cream to the mixture until it is thinner.  Note: a mixed coconut flour batter will always appear a little thicker than an all-purpose flour mixture.

Step 4

Set a nonstick skillet on medium-high heat and spray with coconut oil (or preferred cooking spray).

Step 5

Once the skillet is hot, add 1 tablespoon of batter (per pancake) to the skillet, then cover and cook for 1 minute. After about 1 minute, flip the pancake using a spatula and cover and cook for an additional 45 seconds.

Step 6

Repeat until all the batter is gone.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hey, I'm Kevin

My name is Kevin. My life changed when I realized that healthy living is a lifelong journey, mainly won by having a well-balanced diet and maintaining an active lifestyle.

By experimenting in the kitchen and sharing my meals on Tumblr, I learned healthy eating is not boring! By making a few adjustments to my favorite foods, I could design a diet that could help me achieve my wellness goals while satisfying my desire for BANGIN food! 😅 Now I try to help people around the world realize that same level of freedom in eating regardless of budget. Welcome, let's #DemocratizeWellness together!
