Gluten Free Coconut Pancakes





Fluffy Gluten Free Pancakes! 
Some people crave sweets, such as chocolate, candies, or salty foods like chips and fried foods. My personal weakness is pancakes. Fluffy, melt in your mouth pancakes. The kind that you just want to savor and enjoy. My family will tell you that I have been on this quest for a while. We used to eat strictly  paleo, and the one thing that I missed was pancakes. 

We still eat very healthy and avoid processed foods, cooking everything from scratch. I really don't define myself by any diet at the moment. My hashimoto's has kept me gluten free, dairy free, and nut free for sometime.  One thing I never gave up on was finding a pancake recipe that would be a staple Saturday recipe. 

Finally, I made one really worth sharing!! Best of all it is fairly simple, and easy to make. 




Ingredients: 
  • 1 cup sweet rice flour
  • 1/3 cup potato flour
  • 2 tbls and 2 tps of tapioca flour
  • 1/3 cup shredded coconut un-sweetened.
  • 1/4 tsp of Xanthan gum i
  • 3 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup of lite canned coconut.
  • 3 tablespoons of butter melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoon of maple syrup

Directions: 

Mix first seven dry ingredients in a large bowl. Slowly add coconut milk, 1 egg, melted butter, extract and maple syrup. Stir until all mixed. Scoop 1/3 of a cup of the batter onto a hot skillet. It would be fine to use either coconut oil or butter to grease the skillet. 

Makes around 15 pancakes. 

 Here are some shots from my camera phone, we added banana's in the skillet when we were done, and browned them for a minute and then topped our pancakes with them. It tasted amazing! 




Alltop. We're kind of a big deal.
