More Grain Free and Gluten Free Coconout Flour Pancakes

This is just another little tweak to my favorite coconut flour pancakes.

I first made them with whole eggs and coconut flour, a bit of water, vanilla, and some cinnamon.  Then I subbed egg whites for one of the eggs.  But, lately I have been making them without whole eggs at all… just egg whites.

The coconut flour makes a fairly heavy batter, and I think using egg whites instead of whole eggs lightens the pancakes up quite a bit and you likely won’t need to thin it with water.

I have been enjoying mine with a half cup of fresh blueberries added to the batter before cooking… and then another half cup sprinkled over the top as I eat them.  And I have discovered there is no need for syrup with the sweet berries!  The berries here are large and luscious right now.  Mmmmm.....
