I've never used coconut flour, but my husband is eating Paleo, so I bought a few pounds to try out. This recipe was great. They smell wonderful, they taste yummy - I can't wait to make them again with nuts and shredded coconut. Maybe sliced bananas on top, too. I had absolutely no problems with thick or thin batter, or flipping or burning. They couldn't have come out any better. Changes I made to the recipe: Substituted baking powder for the baking soda (aluminum free), and since they were for Paleo, I didn't use milk. I used 1/2 cup almond milk and 1/2 cup water. We will definitely be having these again!

May try again but the egg taste was a bit overpowering. I must have over mixed the wet and dry ingredients as mine were not fluffy at all. May try again but the egg taste was a bit overpowering.

I will scale back the salt just a touch next time, and I used raw milk cream instead of milk because it lowered the carbs but otherwise I made them as is. They were a hit and we didn't even use syrup. I buttered them....and ate them like that and then we tried them with a super thin layer of Trader Joe's low sugar preserves (super thin) and I also spread a little cream cheese on them. They were a hit all three ways. I would also agree that they weren't easy to flip the first flip. I make them small because we frequently make sausage sandwiches or sausage and egg sandwiches and even that size, it wanted to pull apart when I wanted to flip when they were golden brown. I made sure they were small and it was fine. They were fluffy and PERFECT! Taste was great. I am curious.....can I make waffles out of these? Any changes to do that?

Baking soda needs an acid to make food rise and honey is an acid. I don't know about stevia, and someone might know whether it is an acid, but it might be worth considering whether the stevia/baking soda combination is at fault. If it is, perhaps baking powder, which already has an acid combined, might be a better option to use with stevia? Just a thought....!

My husband really liked the flavor as did I. My problem is the texture...Yikes they were spongy. Did I do something to cause the texture problem Or is this the correct consistency? Please let me know if I could change up something so we can enjoy this new found confection !!! I made the coconut flour pancakes for our Saturday breakfast.

I wanted to try coconut flour instead of almond to see how it works. I made the recipe exactly with 1 T of xylitol for sweetener. I used a swedish whisk to mix them and the eggs were light and fluffy and worked perfect. I also used 1/3 C cream with 2/3 C whole milk. Except for not mixing in the dry ingredients good enough (one poured in the pan with a spoonful of flour in it) and having to tweak the heat, it worked perfect and was delicious. I plan to make a fruit sauce next time instead of maple syrup to cut the carbs (love that syrup). My grandson approved and my son likes them because with four eggs there is plenty of protein. I did not find them overly salty or watery but I did let the batter sit for awhile because I forgot to preheat the pan. That was probably a good idea because it was nice and thick and the pancakes were fluffy. I'm using Bob's Red Mill coconut flour right now. Works great. Yum! Just made these this morning.

I also found the pancakes to be too salty...really inedible. May be due to the salt and/or baking soda. I think the consistency problems with the batter may be due to the different coconut flours being used. The one I used I have not had great success with and suspect it isn't really coconut flour, but just pulverized shredded coconut...which is not the same things. They weren't fluffy at all. I still would have eaten them if they hadn't been so salt. I made these tonight and had some of the same issues others mentioned. I also found the pancakes to be too salty…really inedible.
