Low-carb Coconut Pancakes

Low-carb Coconut Pancakes

Who doesn’t love pancakes? We adore them! From all the homemade sweet treats, pancakes are the ones which come back most often on our table 🙂 Though, because they are not only delicious but also calorie bombs, I’ve searched out if there was any possibility to replace the most dangerous ingredients (I mean flour and refined sugar), in order to obtain a low-calorie pancakes that we could enjoy without fearing of weighing scale. I knew I could replace sugar with sweetener. And, for flour, I found a wonderful substitute: coconut! I was inspired by the recipe found on Healthnutnation site. And the pancakes that I’ve made were fantastic: fluffy, silky, sweet and strongly coconut-flavored.

For this recipe is needed coconut flour which I couldn’t find so I tried to grind the coconut flakes into a food processor. The result was not really coconut flour but I managed to prepare my pancakes with it. So, I strongly recommend coconut flour for this recipe, because it has a texture just as fine as wheat flour and the composition for pancakes would be much easy to handle than the one in which are used coconut flakes.
