There is one thing I am so thankful for since being on a Gluten free diet-it is my personal discovery of COCONUTS!Their healing properties,numerous products and uses,go along great with the calming, cozy taste they give to each recipe.
There is so much you can make with coconut,that I am going to devote a whole entire category on coconut products and recipes.
Today's one is a real gem, especially after I though I can never have pancakes anymore...

| My girl prefers them with only honey |
Ingredients:
.1/2 cup coconut flour
.6 eggs
.6-8 Tbsp Coconut milk or heavy whipping cream.
.1/2 tsp. sea salt
.1 tbsp Xylitol or agave (you can use honey or maple syrup,if you can have sugar)
.coconut oil or butter for frying the pancakes.
Makes 6-7 large pancakes, or up to 10 small ones (I prefer the small ones for this recipe- 4'-it is a bit capricious mixture, so it makes it easier to turn them)
Directions:
Whisk the eggs and milk together,blend well.Mix the dry ingredients separately. Add the egg/milk mixture slowly to the dry mix and whisk well till there are no lumps.Allow to sit for a few minutes.
NOTES:
-usually the notes go at the end, but this needs a special attention-coconut flour is highly absorbent.If you overdo and put more of it you have to add more moisture-a good rule of thumb is-one extra tablespoon of coconut flour requires one extra egg or more milk.Keep this in mind if you decide to make extra.The mixture should not be runny as with a regular pancake batter.
-these pancakes do not bubble, but I add a dash of seltzer water to the batter (BTW,I do that with any pancakes I make) That makes them fluffier, and it is especially good for this ones.
- you have your choice of diary free-with a coconut milk and coconut oil,or rich with a heavy cream and butter.I do use dairy,so I often mix this ingredients for even better taste.

In a heavy skillet preheat a spoon of coconut oil or coat heavily with a butter stick-liberal amount,because of the high absorbency of the coconut flour.
NOTE: heat should be really low under your skillet;gently test bottom to see when it's time to flip.

| Stack them up or spread them out, enough for the whole family |
REDUCED JAM RECIPE:
This sugarless jam is a real gem,too,and so easy to prepare:
Use any berries you have in your fridge. Right after the pancakes are done in the still hot skillet cook the fresh or frozen berries for about 10 minutes, add sweetener if you wish and stir till there is a caramel aroma.
Poor over pancakes.
ENJOY!
