Coconut Flour Pancakes

(Source: Marci and Will Foster)

Here is one of our family's favorite breakfasts. Coconut flour is a wonderful ingredient to experiment with and substitute in many recipes that use wheat flour. Made from dehydrated coconut meat, it is very high in fiber, good quality fat and lauric acid. The flavor is outstanding with no compromise in texture, and I feel great feeding it to my family. I hope you will too.
