Chocolate protein coconut flour pancakes recipe

Put your hand up if you have at least one bag of coconut flour in your cupboard? If you do, you gotta make these chocolate protein coconut flour pancakes!

Coconut flour is a great asset in gluten-free cooking and baking . It's 100 % finely ground coconut flesh with most of its water and fat being removed. I actually have 3 different types of coconut flour, all different brands and I am not entirely sure if they all have the same consistency. You would think they would, but they don’t. A couple of them are a bit thicker and one of them is a bit darker than the other. Nevertheless coconut flour is not an easy one to work with. It is very dense and requires a lot of moisture. It contains fewer carbs then usual flours , but on the other hand, contains a lot of fiber which is important for our digestive system and general health and has a low glycemic index. It is very easily digested and you get full very quickly. One of Its main advantages is that it also has a neutral taste , and therefore can be used in both sweet and savoury recipes. Before I share the recipe I want to share something with you. Last year I contributed to creating 22 Steps To A Healthier You guide for Nutri Advanced. This guide is brilliant and has a lot great tips and advice from top fitness and healthy bloggers. Definitively worth checking out out. You can download it for free from here. Below is my healthy tip! 🙂

Chocolate protein coconut flour pancakes

I was challenged by Holland and Barrett to come up with some healthier than usual pancake recipes using the some of their products, which were kindly sent to me. I took on the challenge because Pancake Day is literally around the corner. I love being challenged and creating new recipes,  but also my whole family loves pancakes especially on Sunday mornings.

I received the following ingredients:

Unsweetened Soya Milk - perfect for baking

Chocolate soya protein – not the cleanest , but it tastes really nice

Coconut flour - I admit I can eat it just like that

Meridian Crunchy Hazelnut butter – this stuff is insane, it taste like Nutella, actually a bit better than Nutella in my eyes

Very Cherry Raw Chocolate – gosh this is good. Sadly this chocolate didn’t make it to the recipe…guess wha,t I ate it .. all of it and didn’t even share one piece with anyone. It is amazing!

Don’t worry if you can’t get all these ingredients. You could always improvise with different plant based milks or different proteins, or just use whatever you’ve got and hope for the best 🙂
