- Total time 40 mins
Yield: 8 pancakes
Ingredients
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ⅛ cup tapioca flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp Green & Black's Organic cocoa powder
- 2 eggs
- ⅛ - ¼ cup coconut milk
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- ¼ cup Green & Black's Organic chocolate chunks, optional
Coconut Pecan Topping:
- ¾ cup coconut sugar (or unrefined cane sugar)
- ⅔ cup coconut milk
- ¼ cup butter (or coconut oil)
- 2 egg yolks
- pinch of salt
- 1-1/2 cups coconut flakes (unsweetened)
- ¾ cup chopped pecans, toasted
Instructions
1. To prepare the Coconut Pecan Topping whisk together coconut sugar, coconut milk, butter, egg yolks and salt in a saucepan. Heat on medium-low while stirring almost constantly until mixture starts to thicken; 5-8 minutes (it will thicken more as mixture cool). Stir in coconut flakes and pecans and set topping aside. If it thickens too much, you can reheat it to make more pourable/spreadable.2. For the Coconut Flour Chocolate Pancakes whisk together coconut and tapioca flour, baking soda, salt, and Green & Black's Organic cocoa powder in a small bowl until combined.
3. In a medium bowl, mix together eggs, ⅛ cup coconut milk, coconut oil, maple syrup. Add the dry ingredients and whisk until fully combined.

4. Let the batter sit for 3-5 minutes. It should be quite thick (like brownie batter). If it gets too dry and clumpy, add more coconut milk (1 tablespoon at a time) until a thick batter forms.
5. Heat a lightly greased pan or griddle to medium-low. Drop 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the griddle or pan and spread out a little. If desired you can sprinkle a few chocolate chunks between the 2 tablespoons of batter.
6. Cook pancakes for about 3 minutes on one side, then flip carefully. Cook the other side for 2 more minutes. Keep a close eye on the pancakes, as they burn easily.
7. Serve the pancakes while hot topped with the coconut-pecan topping. Sprinkle with chocolate chunks & coconut flakes and drizzle with melted chocolate, if desired.
