Making low carb simple
Instructions
Pancakes
- Separate the yolks from the egg whites and whip the egg whites and pinch of salt with a hand mixer. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form and then set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together yolks, oil and coconut milk.
- Add coconut flour and baking powder to the yolk-mix. Mix into a smooth batter.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the batter. Let batter rest for 5 minutes.
- Fry in butter or coconut oil for a couple of minutes or so on each side on low to medium heat. Flip carefully!
- Allow the pancakes to cool before decorating them.
Monster decoration
- Once the pancakes have cooled, use fresh berries, nuts, and whipped cream (or a non-dairy alternative) to get creative and make your monsters.
