Equipment

a mixing bowl
Stand mixer, hand mixer, or blender
a frying pan, skillet, or griddle

Ingredients

1/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup almond flour
1/3 cup tapioca starch
3 eggs
1 tbsp raw honey
1/4 cup full fat coconut cream/milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp kosher salt
ghee for cooking pancakes

Optional

1/4 cup Enjoy Life mini chocolate chips
1/4 cup Enjoy Life chocolate chunks
1/4 cup blueberries
banana slices with coconut sugar

Instructions

Add your eggs and coconut milk to a mixing bowl and whisk together to combine.
Add the rest of your ingredients and mix well. (You can do this with a stand mixer, hand mixer, or in a blender. If using a blender, be sure to scrape down the sides a few times to get all the dry ingredients incorporated.)
Let the mixture sit for a few minutes while you melt some ghee in a skillet or on a griddle. (Medium-low heat.) This will allow the baking powder to get to work and fluff up the batter. You will want 2 - 3 teaspoons of ghee to start or even better, brown butter ghee.
Ladle about 1/4 – 1/3 of a cup of pancake batter onto your skillet or griddle. If you are adding chocolate chips or fruit, add it now.
Once the pancake is slightly bubbly and the bottom is cooked to the point where you can slide a spatula underneath, flip it over and cook the other side. Each pancake takes about 2 – 4 minutes a side depending on how hot your pan is.
Add more ghee (1 teaspoon or less) to the pan in between pancakes and adjust your heat accordingly as you cook the pancakes. Your pan will eventually get really hot if it is on for a while and your pancakes can start to burn.
Once cooked, serve with fresh fruit or maple syrup.

Notes

You can also make these into waffles by cooking on a waffle iron - use about 1/2 cup of batter.

If you are making a lot of pancakes at one time and you want to keep them warm, turn your oven on to a very low temperature (250°F) or a “Warming” setting and spread your cooked pancakes out on a baking sheet while you cook the rest of the pancakes. This will keep them warm and remove excess moisture while the rest of the pancakes cook.
