Skinny pancakes are a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional pancakes. They are made with almond flour and coconut oil, making them gluten-free and packed with healthy fats. These pancakes are perfect for those who are looking for a nutritious breakfast option without compromising on taste. Follow this simple recipe to make your own fluffy and tasty skinny pancakes.
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, melt the coconut oil if it is solid (you can do this in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or on the stovetop over low heat).
- Crack the eggs into the bowl with the melted coconut oil.
- Add the vanilla extract to the bowl.
2. Blend Well:
- Use a whisk or an electric mixer to blend the eggs, coconut oil, and vanilla extract together until you achieve a smooth consistency.
3. Add Water:
- Pour the water into the bowl while continuing to whisk. Mix until all the wet ingredients are well combined.
4. Incorporate the Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the almond flour to the wet mixture, mixing thoroughly after each addition to prevent lumps.
- Add the salt and stevia leaf sweetener to the mixture, stirring to ensure they are evenly distributed.
5. Check Batter Consistency:
- The batter should be fairly thick but pourable. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more water a tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
6. Preheat the Pan:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can lightly grease it with a bit more coconut oil if needed.
7. Cook the Pancakes:
- Once the pan is hot, pour small portions of batter onto the skillet using a ladle or measuring cup (about 1/4 cup per pancake).
- Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set. Then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until both sides are golden brown.
8. Serve:
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve warm with toppings of your choice such as fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of powdered stevia.
Tips:
- Ensure the coconut oil is melted and slightly cooled before mixing to prevent it from scrambling the eggs.
- Use room temperature eggs for better mixing and fluffier pancakes.
- Adjust the water quantity if needed to achieve the desired batter consistency.
- Cook the pancakes on medium heat to prevent them from burning and ensure they are cooked evenly.
- Serve these pancakes with a topping of your choice, such as fresh berries, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
