This recipe is from our 3 Day Sample as displayed on our Meals Plans for Diet & Nutrition.

  • 237 ml Hot Water (divided)
  • 9 grams Gelatin
  • 240 ml Plain Coconut Milk (warm)
  • 84 grams Coconut Flour
  • 70 grams Cassava Flour
  • 2 grams Sea Salt
  • 30 ml Coconut Oil (divided)

  1. Place half the boiling water in a large bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over top. Set aside for five minutes to dissolve, then whisk in the warm coconut milk.
  2. In a bowl, combine the coconut flour, cassava flour, and salt, then transfer it to the coconut-gelatin mixture. Stir together until well combined and there are no clumps. Add additional water as needed, until the mixture is easy to scoop and spread.
  3. Heat a bit of the oil in a large non-stick pan over low-medium heat. Scoop 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan and cook for three to four minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining oil and batter.
  4. Divide onto plates and add your desired toppings. Enjoy!
  5. Enjoy immediately for best results or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to three days.

    One serving is two four-inch pancakes.

    Add cinnamon and vanilla extract.

    Top with honey, maple syrup, cottage cheese, or fresh fruit.
