Ingredients
Servings
4
- 1/4 cup coconut flour, sifted
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup canned full-fat coconut milk (shake well before measuring)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or raw honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil, plus extra for cooking
- For the Blueberry Compote
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or raw honey
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sifted coconut flour, sea salt, and baking soda until evenly combined.
-
In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs. Whisk in the coconut milk, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until smooth.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until well combined. Let the batter rest for 3 to 5 minutes to thicken. The batter will be thick but scoopable.
-
Meanwhile, prepare the blueberry compote: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, water, maple syrup, lemon juice, and cinnamon if using. Stir occasionally, cooking for 7 to 10 minutes until the blueberries burst and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease with coconut oil.
-
Scoop 3 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the skillet, spreading gently to form rounds if needed. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until edges are set and the bottom is golden brown, then carefully flip and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more coconut oil as needed.
-
Serve pancakes warm topped generously with the warm blueberry compote. Optional: garnish with fresh berries or sliced banana for extra freshness.
-
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat gently in a skillet or toaster oven.
Tips
Allergen Overlap Note
Check every packaged ingredient for certified gluten-free status, especially spices, broths, sauces, seed products, and baking staples. Use clean prep surfaces, dedicated utensils, and fresh parchment or cookware when preparing paleo coconut flour pancakes with blueberry compote for someone with celiac disease.
Texture Expectations
Coconut flour batter thickens quickly and should make small, tender pancakes rather than wide thin ones. Rest the batter briefly, then cook over medium-low heat so the centers set before the outsides brown too much.
Dining With Non-GF Family Note
Serve the gluten-free pancake stack first with a dedicated spatula and compote spoon. If other pancakes, toast, or cereal are on the table, keep those toppings and utensils away from the coconut flour batch.
