    💭Pro tips

    • Coconut flour is very absorbent so more liquid and eggs is often required.
    • This pancake batter will be a little thicker than standard pancakes, so you'll just need to spread it out with the back of a spoon when pouring into the pan.
    • You can always adjust by adding a little extra liquid to the batter if too thick.

      I made these this morning for me and my daughters. I used normal unsalted butter in place of the nut butter because I didn’t have any cashew nut butter on hand. I also added just a dash of sea salt. They are delicious! Thank you!

      Can I skip the nut butter? Or perhaps sub it with something else? Thanks!

        Hi Kylie, I haven't tested it without the nut butter so I'm not sure of the end result. Maybe try adding an extra egg if they seem a little dry when you mix them up. Let me know how they turn out for you.
