Gluten Free Lemon Coconut Pancakes
About Recipe:
If you have ever been to Cafe Luna in Boston, you know that they have the BEST Lemon Ricotta pancakes! They are fluffy, moist and perfectly sweet. They are addicting!! I wanted to create a grain-free lemon pancake reminiscent of these Cafe Luna stacks. And these are 👌!!!
Tips and Tricks:
Pancake Flipping: Since these pancakes are made completely grain and gluten free, they are a more delicate pancake. I recommend making the pancakes on the smaller side so that they are able to be flipped easier. It is also easier if you let them cook for a bit longer on their first side before flipping and this will help them stay intact.
Sweetener: I like to use minimal sugar in my recipes and always use unrefined sugar options. That being said, another option that may work well for this recipe is maple syrup.
Key Nutritional Players:
Coconut Flour: Coconut flour is high in fiber and a great grain free, nut free and gluten free recipe option.
Coconut Yogurt: Coconut yogurt is a great way to add moisture and texture to this recipe. It helps create a light pancake, and makes these the perfect texture :)
