Low Carb Pumpkin Pancakes

Yield: 12 pancakes

Serving Size: 2 pancakes

Delicious pumpkin pancakes made with coconut flour and coconut oil. Low carb, gluten-free and dairy-free.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 1/4 cup vanilla hemp protein powder (or whey protein powder)
• 1/4 cup Swerve Sweetener (or honey or maple syrup for a paleo version)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ginger
• 1/4 tsp cloves
• 6 large eggs
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 3 tbsp coconut oil, melted
• 1/2 to 3/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk or almond milk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Coconut oil for the pan

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 200F.
• In a large bowl, whisk together coconut flour, protein powder, sweetener, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, ginger, and cloves.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, pumpkin puree, melted coconut oil, 1/2 cup almond milk and vanilla extract.
• Add the egg mixture to the coconut flour mixture and stir well to combine. Add more almond milk if batter is very thick. It should not be runny.
• Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add a little coconut oil. Once oil is melted, scoop two heaping tablespoons of batter onto skillet and spread into a 4 inch circle. Repeat until you can't fit any more pancakes into the skillet (you should be able to get 3 or 4 in).
• Cook until bottom is golden brown and top is set around the edges. Flip carefully and continue to cook until second side is golden brown. Remove from pan and keep warm on plate or baking sheet in oven, while repeating with remaining batter.
