Frequently Asked Questions

What is coconut flour, and how does it differ from regular flour

Coconut flour is a soft, fine-textured flour made from dried, ground coconut meat. It is naturally gluten-free, low in carbohydrates, and high in fibre compared to regular wheat flour, making it a popular choice for those following a gluten-free, low-carb, or ketogenic diet.

Can I substitute coconut flour for regular flour in other recipes?

Coconut flour is more absorbent than regular flour, so direct substitution is not recommended. When using coconut flour in place of regular flour, you may need to adjust the liquid content and use less flour in your recipe. Generally, for every 1 cup of wheat flour, you can use 1/4 to 1/3 cup of coconut flour.

Are these pancakes suitable for vegans?

While the recipe is dairy-free, it may contain eggs. To make it vegan, you can replace the eggs with a vegan egg substitute like a flaxseed meal or chia seeds mixed with water or use a commercial egg replacer.

How do I store leftover pancakes, and how long will they last?

Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply microwave them for a few seconds or warm them in a toaster oven or on the stovetop.

Can I add other ingredients to the pancake batter?

Yes, you can customize the recipe by adding your favourite ingredients like chocolate chips, blueberries, nuts, or spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.

How do I know when the pancakes are ready to flip?

When bubbles start forming on the surface of the pancake, and the edges appear cooked, it’s time to flip the pancake. Cook the other side until it turns golden brown.
