These sugar & gluten free pancakes with a delicious cocoa sauce make for a wonderful guilt free treat. Packed with goodness from coconuts, super greens and ice cream whey powder they will appeal to both adults and children, I am sure of it!
Ingredients:
For the pancakes:
- 400ml coconut milk
- 6tbsp coconut flour (heaped)
- 4 eggs
- 3tbsp coconut flower nectar
- 2tbsp extra virgin organic coconut oil
- 2tbsp vanilla ice cream whey powder
- 2tsp matcha
- 2tsp super greens powder
- 1.5tsp baking powder
For the cocoa sauce:
- 3tbsp extra virgin organic coconut oil
- 4tbsp coconut flower nectar
- 1tbsp cocoa powder
Method:
First thing first… let’s make the sauce as it will need a little time to cool down and thicken.
In a small bowl place the coconut oil and coconut flower nectar.
Pop into microwave and heat up in 10 seconds bursts… after each 10 second session remove from the microwave and give it a good stir. After three heating up session your coconut oil should be all nicely melted out but not cooked.
Add to a second bowl with your sifted cocoa powder and stir/whisk well until fully combined. At this moment your sauce will be quite runny but give it time and after 15-20 minutes, once you are done with making the pancakes, it will be just the right thickness 🙂
Turn on your grill to medium high setting, why I hear you ask… I’ll explain later….
Now, let’s prepare the pancakes themselves.
In a small bowl place the coconut oil and melt it slowly just as we did for the sauce.
In a large bowl place the coconut milk, eggs, coconut flower nectar and melted coconut oil. Stir well with a hand whisk until well combined.
Add the coconut flour, matcha, super greens, whey powder and again mix well.
Finally add the baking powder and make sure it is incorporated evenly.
Preheat a non-stick frying pan whilst your batter rests for a minute.
Fry your pancakes, one by one, but take note the mixture doesn’t behave like your standard pancake batter. It’s not so easy to work with as the pancakes do not want to flip effortlessly, so you will have to turn them with a fish-slice. However having made them many times now, as they are a personal favourite I have found the easiest way to cook them is as follows.
Remember that grill you had heating, we need it.
Heat up the pan till hot, pour a spoonful of mixture into the centre of the pan and the swirl the pan to spread the mixture out to an even thickness. Now hold under the grill for 20 seconds or until the top is set and looks dry, but not brown or cooked just dry. Then cook as you would a normal pancake and they should be fine.
Serve with earlier prepared cocoa sauce and enjoy!
These look really good! We’re always looking for more GF and SF recipes - saved for later!
This is how I make my chocolate sauce too. it goes so well on waffles. Yum!
Oh yes, waffles!
Now, this is an idea for a sweet lunch 🙂
These look delicious!!! I have a lot of matcha powder at home but I have no idea what to do with it so will try these out 🙂
You can add it to almost anything… even to your morning coffee 🙂
Ohhh, they look and sound delicious. That stack would be devoured within seconds in this house! 🙂
Omg, they looks so delicious and I love pancakes. Great post! x
I didn’t know you could buy coconut flour. These pancakes look very tasty and gulit free too as you say!
if i made these with all purpose flour would they still be the same?i have to make them, they look sooo delicious!
No, you can’t replace coconut flour with all-purpose one in 1:1 proportions… it will not work, I am sorry.
If I test it, I will update the recipe with correct measurements from substitution.
Oh they look so good, I’m almost drooling over my keyboard. I’ve not heard of ice cream powder before but clearly I need some in my life - as well as these pancakes! 🙂
So pleased I’ve found this, I have a bag of coconut flour that needs used up and these will be perfect.
I am so happy and grateful for this recipe! I’ve been wanting to make pancakes with coconut flour for some time now, but no matter what recipe I tried it came out too runny or crumbly, not resembling pancakes at all 🙁 I can’t wait to try your version as the ingredients are finally somthing I would gladly eat! And that chocholate sauce is a great addition, thank you! 🙂

Hi Stella,
Good luck with frying them… a bit tricky but well worth it 🙂
Let me know if you liked them.
This sounds amazing and I can’t believe how healthy pancakes can be with the right ingredients great job!
Oooh just look at that sauce! These gluten free and dairy free coconut pancakes sound wonderful!
We love pancakes in our house, I’m intrigued to see if these healthy ones taste as nice!
We usually put chocolate chips in our pancakes to get the cocoa flavor. I’ll have to try this recipe tho because the photos of that syrup have got me drooling!
Chocolate chips sound lovely but chocolate chips = sugar and lately we are all about sugar free 🙂
mmmm these look delicious I’m not a fan of pancakes personally, but my niece would love these x
Sugar free pancakes? I never knew such a thing existed. Love it already.
This sounds like its a lot easier to make than I thought it would be. Perhaps I’ll be having pancakes for brekkie this weekend!
These look amazing, I never knew you could get coconut flour I bet these are gorgeous
These look so good - and good for you too! I am definitely going to try them. Kaz x
I am totally hopeless at making pancakes but these look so good x
I love pancakes but have never made them, I really need to do so! Yummy!
These pancakes look delicious and they seem so simple to make. Yum yum
These look amazing! I adore pancakes though I’m a wimp and never toss them. I end up poking them apart with a spatula.
I’ve not actually heard of most of the ingredients but they do look really good and they must be a good alternative if you’re watching your sugar intake or on gluten free diet.
