Recipe Makes (Approximate): 12 pancakes

Equipment

  • Medium bowl
  • Large bowl
  • 2 whisks
  • Large skillet or griddle
  • Spatula
  • Plate

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • ⅓ cup tapioca starch
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda

Wet Ingredients

Other Ingredients

  • coconut oil (for frying)
  • pure maple syrup (optional, for serving)
  • tapioca starch or organic powdered sugar (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together wet ingredients.
  • Fold dry ingredients into wet and stir until well incorporated.
  • Heat a bit of coconut oil in a skillet or griddle over medium or medium-low heat. Spoon pancake batter on, about ¼ cup per pancake. Batter will be thin but will set upon hitting heat, so pour relatively slowly.
  • Cook until bubbles form and burst on the surface. Flip carefully with a spatula and cook through, about another minute. Transfer pancakes to plate and set aside. Repeat until all batter has been cooked.
  • Serve with pure maple syrup and a sprinkling of tapioca starch to mimic powdered sugar, or use organic powdered sugar.

Recipe Notes

  • The batter will be thin so make sure your skillet or griddle is well preheated before pouring batter on. Pancakes will form upon hitting the heat but burn easily, so err on the side of a well-preheated medium-low heat. A healthy (PFOA-free) nonstick pan is ideal; I use ceramic frying pans like this.
