Ingredients
  

1/2 cup coconut flour

1/4 cup almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)

3 large eggs

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

Coconut oil or butter, for cooking

Optional toppings: fresh fruit, nut butter, or maple syrup

Instructions
 

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.

    Prepare Wet Mixture: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth.

      Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently to combine. The batter will thicken as the coconut flour absorbs the liquid. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the batter to thicken further.

        Heat the Pan: In a non-stick skillet or griddle, heat a small amount of coconut oil or butter over medium heat.

          Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until small bubbles form and the edges look slightly dry. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown.

            Serve: Remove from the skillet and keep warm in a low oven if necessary. Top with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nut butter, or additional maple syrup. Enjoy your delicious gluten-free coconut flour pancakes!
