Low-carb/keto Japanese Pancakes – Hotcakes!
Share
There are many pancake recipes out there that use almond flour but after much experimentation, I found that almond flour produces a nutty, dense and slightly grainy pancake that I don’t prefer for this recipe.
Instead, I opted for Coconut Flour which is lighter, spongier and has a subtle sweetness that is more fitting for these Japanese hotcakes.
On another note, you might be thinking 3 eggs is a lot for only 1/4 cup of Coconut Flour but because Coconut Flour soaks up a lot of moisture, the extra eggs and liquids are needed to ensure a moist hotcake. And in my opinion, it doesn’t taste eggy at all!
Lastly, don’t be off-put by the use of Kewpie Mayo in this recipe after all, mayo is just oil and eggs. Plus, we found it adds that extra moistness to make these hotcakes so unbelievably good!
