If you are ready for a THM E pancake that has a normal texture and is just as delicious as its unhealthy counterpart, you need to try these blueberry coconut pancakes. With sprouted flour and fresh blueberries (don’t worry! frozen work in a pinch!) they take very little time to throw together and cook quickly.. no overnight soaking needed!
In a week or two, I’ve already made these pancakes twice… they are husband and sugar-loving mother-in-law approved.

Whenever I make pancakes, French toast, or sometimes even scrambled eggs, I use a certain electric griddle… I’ve had mine for about six or seven years and am still in love. It’s really large so I can cook for my growing family with only a few batches, instead of standing over a hot stove for what can seem like eternity.
Unfortunately, the griddle I purchased all those years ago is no longer available on Amazon, but this one is the same brand, with a non-stick coating like mine, and the same size.
Please be aware that an electric griddle is not required for this recipe… it is just really nice to have. You can definitely make these pancakes in a skillet on the stove top with some melted butter, too; but it would increase the fat in the recipe and might throw you into crossover territory.
If you do use an electric griddle, I like to turn mine hotter than needed to preheat, and then turn it down to the temperature I’m using when ready to cook. You could definitely just preheat to the temperature you want to use instead of changing it.
Special Ingredients for Blueberry Coconut Pancakes
Sprouted Wheat Flour
Unless you make your own sprouted flour (I have not done this), then you will need to purchase some for this recipe. I buy mine in bulk on Amazon here.
Although it’s quite expensive, I so far only have needed to purchase every eight months or so, and buying in bulk helps with savings as well.
Maybe you don’t have sprouted flour yet (or you are waiting for it to arrive), but you saw that delicious looking cinnamon square recipe in Trim Healthy Future and purchased whole grain Einkorn flour and kefir? Try this overnight soaked pumpkin bread!! It’s really easy and has a delicious flavor and wonderful texture.
Coconut Milk
I used regular canned coconut milk, but for a lighter fat version you could try light canned coconut milk or maybe even coconut milk from a carton.
Egg Free
You could probably make this recipe egg free by using a flax egg, but I have not tried this method. It would likely change the fat content of the recipe, but since an egg has fat as well (and would be left out in this case), I believe it could still fit into E territory.
Blueberry Coconut Pancakes
Equipment
- Electric griddle optional
Ingredients
- 2 c sprouted wheat flour
- 4 tsp baking powder aluminum free
- 1/2 c coconut flakes unsweetened
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp truvia spoonable jar variety
- 1 egg large
- 1/4 c coconut milk
- 2 c almond milk original unsweetened
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 c blueberries fresh or frozen
Instructions
- Preheat an electric griddle to 350°F if using.
- Mix together the sprouted flour through truvia in a medium sized bowl.
- In another medium sized bowl, mix together the wet ingredients except for the blueberries.
- Slowly pour the wet into the dry ingredients, mixing as you go.
- Fold in the blueberries, being especially careful if using frozen blueberries (or your pancakes will take on a bluish hue).
- Let batter sit for about 3-5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, turn the griddle temperature down to about 325°F or melt some butter in a skillet over medium heat (if using this method instead of a griddle).
- Ladle batter onto your hot griddle (no grease is needed for the kind of griddle I use, see notes in article) or onto your melted butter in your skillet.
- Cook until bubbles form and the edges look drier than the rest of the pancake.
- Flip and cook remaining side or until golden brown.
- Repeat with remaining pancakes.
- Enjoy!! (I like mine with some sugar free syrup)
