Ingredients

Scale

Pancake Batter

  • 75 g all-purpose flour
  • 20 g coconut flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • A pinch of cinnamon (optional)
  • A splash of vanilla extract (optional)
  • 12 tbsp coconut sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 egg or egg replacement
  • 90 ml milk of your choice
  • 40 ml sparkling water
  • 1 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • Melted coconut oil for frying

Toppings

  • Peanut butter
  • Fresh berries
  • White chocolate stars
  • Granola

Instructions

  1. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg (or egg substitute), milk, melted coconut oil, and coconut sugar until the mixture becomes frothy. This will help create a light texture in the pancakes.
  2. Add Sparkling Water: Gently fold in the sparkling water to retain the carbonation, which will contribute to the fluffiness of the batter.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir well to distribute the leavening and spices evenly.
  4. Combine Wet & Dry Mixtures: Quickly pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir briskly until you achieve a smooth, creamy, and thick batter. If the batter is too thick, add a small amount of extra milk to loosen it up.
  5. Rest the Batter: Allow the batter to chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes; this resting period helps the flours hydrate fully, resulting in tender pancakes.
  6. Heat Pan and Fry: Heat a non-stick skillet or large pan over medium heat and add melted coconut oil to coat the surface.
  7. Cook Pancakes: Pour approximately 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the hot pan. Use a circular motion to shape each pancake evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
  8. Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip each pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Serve and Garnish: Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings such as peanut butter, fresh berries, white chocolate stars, and granola. Enjoy your delicious, fluffy cinnamon pancakes!

Notes

  • Use sparkling water right before mixing to retain the bubbles for maximum fluffiness.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of coconut sugar according to your preference.
  • For a vegan version, use a plant-based milk and egg substitute such as flax egg or commercial vegan egg replacers.
  • If batter is too thick, add milk incrementally to get the desired creamy consistency.
  • Cook pancakes on medium heat to allow them to cook evenly without burning.
  • Resting the batter enhances the texture but can be skipped if short on time.
