Servings: 2-4
Preparation Time: 15 minutes

  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup yogurt
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup arrowroot flour
  • 1-2 tablespoons sugar, depending on how sweet you want them
  • 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour (you want the consistency to be like a thin pancake batter so you may need more or less)

Heat a cast iron skillet to medium-high heat (I use cast iron because non-stick has a Teflon coating which releases chemicals).

In a medium size bowl mix eggs and coconut oil together. Add yogurt, water, and vanilla. In another bowl mix arrowroot, sugar and salt together. Add the dry ingredients to the wet. Slowly add the coconut flour until it reaches to consistency of pancake batter (you want it to be pourable but thick enough that they aren’t super thin, it really depends on how thick/thin you like your pancakes).

Turn the heat down (so they don’t burn or cook to fast) and put some coconut oil or butter in the pan, then pour the batter into the pan and cook both sides evenly. Enjoy!!

Blueberry Coconut Cream “Ice Cream” Sandwiches (photo by recipe author)

Servings: About 8
Preparation Time: 30 minutes

  • 3 large eggs
  • sweetener of choice, to taste
  • Dash of vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup of heavy cream or coconut cream
  • 5 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/8 cup – 1/4 cup of milk of choice (If your dough is too dry)
  • 13-15 oz coconut cream or full fat coconut milk, refrigerated overnight

Preheat oven to 300 degrees ºF

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sweetener, vanilla and cream until well mixed. Sift the coconut flour into the egg mixture and mix until smooth.

Wait for a few minutes until thick. Add the blueberries and milk if needed. Drop 1 tablespoon sized cookies onto cookie sheet. (You can make them bigger if you would like!) Flatten into cookies.

Bake until golden with golden brown edges or until you think they are ready. It took mine about 20 minutes. Let cool enough to handle then transfer to fridge to get firm and cool.

Using a mixer, beat coconut cream or coconut milk until fluffy and stiff peaks start to form. Chill until firm enough to be sandwiched in cookies.Sandwich 1 tablespoon of filling between 2 cookies. Put in freezer overnight or until you think they are ready to eat.

*For the freshest coconut milk make homemade coconut milk. (See video at this link.)
