After a crazy month of non stop blogging, we are here with a slower BM, in which I will be blogging for three days in a week. For the first week, I chose to do one ingredient three recipes. When I decided to do the theme, one ingredient three recipes, I first thought of using paneer. And then I read that no dairy products to be selected as the ingredient. But Valli gave an option of flours. So I chose coconut flour as my ingredient and I will post three recipes made with coconut flour this week. As you all know, I am on a low carb diet and so my choice of flour is always coconut flour. You can find so many recipes in which coconut flour is the star ingredient. It is a gluten free flour and absorbs liquid like crazy. So if you are substituting coconut flour for normal flour, then you need just 1/3 rd of the original flour measurement. I add two tablespoons of coconut flour in my diet daily. So all these recipes will have two tables spoons of flour, but they make quite a filling meal.
If you check the thousands of recipes in the blog, you would never find a pancake. I am not sure why, but I never made pancakes. So I decided to make a low carb pancake for myself. I am near the end of my weight loss journey and so I am slightly lenient in my diet. I am strictly on low carb and I do weigh all the food that goes into my tummy, but I do eat a fruit now and then, which I didn’t do at the earlier stages. So instead of using stevia or erythritol, I used a banana to sweeten my pancakes. As I told you, I have never eaten a pancake and when I tasted these, I was bowled. It was just fantastic. I didn’t add any topping or sauces as I didn’t want to increase the calorie for the meal. But you can use any fruit topping or sauces if you like. For me with just one banana, the pancakes were so sweet. If you eat sugar regularly, then you might find it mildly sweet, but my taste buds are off sugar for long so even a little bit of sugar feels like too much sugar. I gave a slice to hubby to taste and he too loved it a lot. The pancakes were so soft and fluffy. Look at the inside texture. It is awesome. I used ghee to fry the pancakes. It gave a wonderful festive flavour. You can even choose to add nuts in the batter and I guess the same batter can be made into paniyaram too.
Ingredients:
Coconut Flour – 2 tbs
Egg – 2
Milk – 1/4 cup

Cook on low flame until the bottom is browned.
Flip the pancake and cook the other side too.
Serve it hot or at room temperature.

I tried coconut flour pancakes a couple of times and they miserably flopped… It just kept drinking up all the liquid and just wouldn’t get done properly… your pancakes look really good, so tempting to have!
That’s a nice choice of ingredient for this week Gayathri.Pancakes with coconut flour sound delicious. Lovely texture as well.
wow Gayathri. That looks so fluffy. What can i replace the eggs with? Want to make an eggless one
Thanks Veena. I haven’t yet tried eggless with coconut flour. I am not sure what will help bind it.
Those pancakes looks fluffy Gayathri! I too have a pack of coconut flour, let me try substituting the eggs with physilium husk!
Banana do add a delicious sweetness to such dishes!!
Mam, Could you please tell how coconut flour is made,if I have to make it at home.
After making coconut milk, we usually discard the pith. If you dry it, it is coconut flour.
That’s great Gayathri, I never knew it. Since I knew that I won’t get it in my area so never tried to find out too…lazty me 🙂
Such a wonderful recipe, Gayathri. To stay on a low carb diet is such a challenge and you have managed to stick with it for so long. Kudos to you.
Those coconut flour pancakes look so fluffy and delicious Gayathri. I’ve only coconut flour with other flours, so I’m looking forward to learn recipes with just that. This is a keeper recipe for sure.
Am yet to try coconut flour in my cooking, and those low carb pancakes looks absolutely fabulous.. Have heard lot about making coocnut flour at home.. I wont ever discard the pith left after making coconut milk from now, thanks for the tips gayathri.
I am yet to try coconut flour and I am already how flavorful these pancakes would be. I just discarded a large amount of coconut pith after making coconut milk. Wish I saw this post yesterday.
first of all I can’t believe you have never had a pancake!!! but only 2 tablespoons of flour – wow – will have to check out the coconut flour I am yet to try it
Since I have come to know about coconut flour now, will try this pancake now
First of all, kudos to you Gayathri for sticking to low carb diet for so long and reaching your goal. I am guessing eggs do wonders in all the recipes you posted this week and these pancakes have come out so fluffy.
It is always surprising right when we realize that we haven’t blogged about certain dishes..I love to feature pancakes and I do have a collection. However, after a while I realized every other pancake is the same when you have to substitute egg in it..your coconut flour pancake sounds fantastic..very good share Gayathri.
Always in the supermarket I see coconut flour and think of buying it ,but now I will as I have this very yummy and healthy recipe. They look yum.
