Blueberry Maple Coconut Flour Pancakes: The Recipe

The recipe itself is super easy! You will need eggs, cream cheese, coconut flour, a pinch of baking powder and fresh blueberries.

I also added a tablespoon of pure maple syrup and some maple extract for sweetness and maple flavour. If you don’t have maple extract, you can use vanilla.

If you are following a keto diet, no problem! Substitute the maple syrup for pure monk sugar—a plant-based sweetener with zero net carbs. Or use your favourite zero-carb sweetener.

Infusing Pancake Batter with Maple Flavor

I believe pancakes and maple syrup are a perfect pair, so why not incorporate that delicious maple flavor directly into the batter? By using both maple extract and maple syrup, these coconut pancakes are infused with a warm,  maple taste. YUM!

Tips for Extra-Fluffy Coconut Flour Pancakes

For extra-fluffy pancakes, ensure that the eggs and cream cheese are at room temperature. After mixing the batter, let it rest for about 10 minutes. This allows the coconut flour to absorb some of the liquids, resulting in a light and airy batter.

Cook the coconut flour pancakes for approximately four minutes. Once you spread the batter in the pan, sprinkle fresh blueberries on top. Allow the pancake to cook until it starts to form small bubbles, about 2-3 minutes, before flipping.

Why Fresh Blueberries Make Pancakes Even Better

Blueberries are not only delicious but are also celebrated as a superfood packed with antioxidants. The more blueberries you can add to your dishes, the better! For the best results, always opt for fresh blueberries. I used organic wild blueberries, which are smaller and ideal for pancakes. Their size makes them a perfect fit for pancakes, providing a burst of flavor in every bite.

I tested a gluten-free coconut flour pancake recipe with frozen blueberries, and while they were still tasty, the pancakes didn’t have the same fresh flavor as they do with fresh blueberries. Since blueberries are in season, there’s no reason not to take advantage of their peak freshness.

Here are some delicious serving ideas for your blueberry coconut flour pancakes:

1. Classic Maple Syrup: Drizzle with pure maple syrup for a sweet and traditional touch.
2. Greek Yogurt and Honey: Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a drizzle of honey for a creamy and slightly tangy addition.
3. Nut Butter: Spread almond or cashew butter on top for a nutty flavor that complements the blueberries.
4. Fresh Fruit Compote: Make a quick fruit compote by simmering additional blueberries with a bit of honey and lemon juice.
5. Coconut Whipped Cream: Add a dollop of coconut whipped cream for a decadent and dairy-free treat.
6. Lemon Zest and Powdered Sugar: Sprinkle with lemon zest and a light dusting of powdered sugar for a refreshing and slightly tangy twist.
7. Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle with a mixture of cinnamon and a touch of sugar for a warm and comforting flavor.
8. Coconut Flakes: Garnish with toasted coconut flakes for extra texture and a hint of tropical flavor.
