Serve these pancakes warm with a little butter or coconut butter melted over top. If you’re not keto, a drizzle of pure maple syrup works nicely, too. These pancakes freeze well, so you can make a batch on the weekend and eat them throughout the week. Simply thaw and reheat in the toaster oven.
Ingredients
¾ cup almond flour
3 tbsp coconut flour
2 tbsp arrowroot
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1½ tsp ground ginger
¾ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp each baking soda and sea salt
⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
1 cup BPA-free canned full-fat coconut milk
3 large eggs
3 tbsp coconut oil + additional for cooking
1½ tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup shredded carrot
⅓ cup finely chopped toasted pecans
3 tbsp unsweetened raisins, optional
coconut butter or butter, for serving
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 200ºF. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, arrowroot, cinnamon, ginger, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. In a medium bowl, whisk coconut milk, eggs, coconut oil and vanilla; pour into bowl with flour mixture and stir to combine. Fold in carrots, pecans and raisins (if using). (NOTE: Batter will be thick.)
2. Warm a griddle or large nonstick skillet on medium-low. Brush with coconut oil. Scoop batter onto griddle, using about 3 tbsp batter for each, and spread into 3½-inch circles. Cook until golden on underside and beginning to firm up, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip and cook on other side until cooked through and golden, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Keep pancakes warm in oven while you repeat to make 12 pancakes total. Serve with coconut butter.
