When a rainy day threatens to destroy your plans, don’t despair! Make pancakes!
That’s exactly what I did on a rainy morning this week. It has been raining a lot lately, so I may have to make another batch! The pancakes look innocent enough: fluffy and plain.
But oh no, these aren’t any ordinary pancakes. They are made with coconut flour and are…

Thought-provoking, mind-prodding question of the day:
What do you do when you have a rainy day?
Play board games, read a book, watch movies, eat popcorn, make pancakes?!
I’ve never used coconut flour. Do these have a coconut flavor?
Bev,
Coconut flour is a really strange flour to work with, but I do love the flavor! yes, it does have a slightly sweet coconut taste, but it isn’t over-powering.
Yum!!! These would be good, and fiber packed thanks to the coconut flour!
Hmmm, on a rainy day, I end up on my computer. Which is fine for some of the time, but I should really consider reading a book or cooking something new instead.
Oooh, these look fantastic, Alex!
We had a rainy day today. We just played inside instead of out. π
Yum yum yum! These look perfect for me to try after my Whole30. I kinda struggle with getting pancakes the right size/texture/cooked consistency but maybe these will be better!
Your recipes are the BEST! I just need to get me some more coconut flour — it is always so good in pancakes. π
My grandma made the best pineapple upside down cake when I was a kid. not only do I love the taste, it brings back such wonderful memories. Thank You, for another lovely recipe!
Briita,
My grandma made a fabulous pineapple upside down cake, too! Grandmas are great for things like that π
What a great recipe it sounds simple too which is nice since I am not one to be flipping pancakes correctly π Thank you for sharing!
Love and Shine

Have you thought about using – well, if you’re using jarred or canned pineapple, about using the juice inplace of some of the milk/liquid?
I’m thinking about using jarred pineapples I have, but want to eat them with pancakes, or as pancakes, sort of like using a banana as the base with two eggs, and zero flour of any kind. But, I’m not sure how to do that nor if it would turn out well, I’m the person who has a pancreas whom doesn’t like too much citrus, I can’t even eat two kiwis without running to the bathroom, my pancreas really doesn’t like too much citrus fruits, I’m also only making these for 1 person, I might need a blender though, But was curious about if you tried using some of the pineapple juice in place of some of the milk/liquid.
Hi Heather,
I haven’t tried that, but that’s a great idea! I’ve bought the canned crushed pineapple in pineapple juice, and I’m sure that would work well in place of mashed bananas in some recipes-no blender required. Let me know if you try it, sounds great!
