Vegan Coconut Flour Pancakes (Gluten-Free) - Rhian's Recipes (2024)

FAQs

Why are my coconut pancakes falling apart? ›

The main reason coconut pancakes fall apart comes down to the brand of coconut flour you use. I've used some brands that have a very weak consistency and aren't as absorbent, which can be a problem (you want your coconut flour to act like a sponge!).

This gluten-free pancake recipe will turn out chewy if the egg whites have not whipped long enough or the batter was overmixed.

Vegan pancakes are an animal-free twist on regular pancakes. Traditional pancake recipes rely on animal products like eggs, milk, or butter, but vegan pancakes swap out those ingredients with dairy-free and egg-free alternatives.

When the flour is moistened with water (or with milk and eggs, which are composed mainly of water), the gluten molecules become active.

Coconut flour is a gluten-free flour made solely from coconuts. It's high in fiber and is a good source of protein. Adding it to your diet may promote stable blood sugar, good digestion, and heart health. It may also support a healthy body weight when consumed as part of a nutritious, balanced diet.

Gluten-friendly pancakes and waffles are made with the same rice- flour-based batter while gluten-friendly Ultimate Steakburgers include a bun made with a blend of rice flour, milk, egg whites, a touch of honey for sweetness and other gluten-friendly ingredients.

Eggs are a crucial ingredient. They provide the cakes with the structure to hold light bubbles. Eggs also give the batter additional, richer flavor from the yolk fat. If you add too many eggs, you'll have “pancakes” that look more like custard or crepes.

Overmixing the batter

Overmixing the batter is probably the number one reason why your vegan pancakes are gummy. When it comes to pancakes, you want the batter to be slightly lumpy. If you mix the batter too much, you knock all of the air bubbles out and your pancakes won't rise very well, resulting in a gummy texture.

Can vegans eat IHOP pancakes? There are no vegan pancake options at IHOP. Your best bet is to pull together some of IHOP's vegan sides or opt for oatmeal made with water or sautéed vegetables with a potato-based side.

Aunt Jemima & Bisquick

Most Aunt Jemima's mixes call for a heavy amount of dairy and eggs. However, it does have two accidental vegan mixes called the Original Pancake and the Whole Wheat Pancake Mix.

If your batter has too much liquid, it won't have enough structure to hold together during cooking and will run all over the pan when flipped. You can address this by simply adding more flour to your batter. The second potential mistake is that you are not waiting long enough to flip your pancakes.

Use a spatula to carefully press down on the edges and remove any excess batter to prevent the Pancake from falling apart. By removing excess batter from the pan, you\'ll have a better chance of flipping your pancakes successfully and enjoying a perfectly cooked and intact pancake.
