When you say “beat yolks until foamy” do you mean until they thicken?

Thank you, these were very good! I found the batter watery too and added a little more coconut flour and cocoa to thicken.  I also didn’t even use the chocolate chips…and they were still great! I used a little agave nectar on top, yum!

I had to add 2 more Tbsp of coconut flour because the pancake mix was too watery and thin. Otherwise, these were delicious! I didn’t have any chocolate chips and they were still yummy!
