Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs (room temperature if possible)
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (or another low-carb milk)
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream or full-fat Greek yogurt (adds moisture and softness)
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (or coconut oil), plus more for the pan
  • 1–2 tablespoons granular erythritol or allulose (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • Optional add-ins: pinch of cinnamon; 1–2 tablespoons sugar-free chocolate chips; a few blueberries
  • To serve: butter, sugar-free syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream

Method
 

  1. Whisk the wet ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, sour cream, melted butter, vanilla, and sweetener until smooth and slightly frothy.
  2. Add the dry ingredients. Sprinkle in the coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until no dry spots remain. The batter should be thick but scoopable.
  3. Rest the batter. Let it sit for 3–5 minutes. Coconut flour will absorb liquid and thicken. If it becomes too thick, stir in 1–2 teaspoons more almond milk.
  4. Preheat the pan. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. A well-heated pan helps the pancakes set without burning.
  5. Portion the pancakes. Scoop 2–3 tablespoons of batter per pancake. Spread gently into 3–4 inch rounds with the back of the spoon. Smaller pancakes flip more easily.
  6. Cook low and slow. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the edges look set and small bubbles appear on top. Flip carefully and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  7. Adjust as needed. If the pancakes brown too fast, lower the heat. Coconut flour can burn more quickly than wheat flour.
  8. Serve warm. Top with butter, sugar-free syrup, berries, or whipped cream. Enjoy immediately for best texture.
