When embarking on the P3 phase of the hCG diet, it is important to incorporate recipes that are both delicious and compliant with the diet's guidelines. Coconut flour pancakes are a great option for breakfast or brunch, as they are a rich source of fiber, healthy fats, and protein. They also provide a satisfying and filling meal that will keep you feeling full and energized throughout the day. Additionally, the pancakes can be easily customized with various toppings and fillings to suit your taste preferences and dietary needs.

COCONUT FLOUR PANCAKES
Coconut flour is a flavorful and fragrant gluten-free alternative but can be a bit tricky to work with. We've smoothed out the kinks to ensure that these pancakes come out golden brown, tender and packed with coconut flavor. Since coconut flour is high in fiber, it retains a significant amount of liquid, which can make pancakes dry. The Greek yogurt in this recipe provides extra moisture and fat to ensure the pancakes stay plush and moist. Because there's no gluten to provide strength or structure to the batter, we call for an extra egg white, baking powder and a little elbow grease when whisking the wet ingredients to make the pancakes fluffy while also being sturdy enough to flip. Just be sure to keep the pancakes small so they can be easily flipped. With a little patience and a quick turn of the wrist, these coconut flour pancakes are sure to satisfy.

Steps:
- Sift the coconut flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda into a medium bowl.
- Vigorously whisk the eggs and egg white in a large bowl until combined and just starting to foam on the surface, about 1 minute. Whisk the coconut milk and Greek yogurt in a separate glass measuring cup or a small bowl until combined. While whisking, add the coconut milk mixture, maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla extract to the eggs and whisk until combined and bubbly.
- Fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are some lumps).
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly brush with coconut oil. Making 2 pancakes per batch, pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet for each pancake and top with toasted coconut flakes if using. Cook until the bottom is golden brown and the edges are just beginning to set with some small bubbles forming, 2 to 3 minutes. (If the pancakes are browning too quickly, reduce the heat to medium-low.) Flip and continue cooking until golden brown on the other side, about 2 more minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, brushing the pan with more coconut oil as needed. Serve with butter, syrup and more toasted coconut.

Steps:
- Whisk the egg whites in a clean bowl until they reach stiff peaks. Put the coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon, egg yolks, milk, 1 tsp maple syrup and a pinch of salt in a bowl and whisk to a smooth batter. Carefully fold in the egg whites, trying to keep in as much air in as possible.
- Heat a non-stick pan over a medium heat. Add tablespoons of the batter at a time to create small pancakes. Cook for 1-2 mins until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Meanwhile, microwave the berries and remaining syrup for 2 mins, stirring halfway, to make a compote. Serve with the pancakes.

Steps:
- Mix wet and dry ingredients in a large bowl with a whisk. Heat vegetable oil in pan or spread on a non- stick griddle with a pastry brush on medium high heat. Pour pancake batter and flip when edges of pancakes bubble or just until undersides are golden brown.
Tips:
- Use a good quality coconut flour. Not all coconut flours are created equal. Some are more absorbent than others, so it's important to find one that works well for you. If you're not sure which one to use, check the reviews on Amazon or ask a friend who has tried the HCG diet.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the pancakes tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the pancakes will burn. If the heat is too low, they will take too long to cook and they won't be as fluffy.
- Serve the pancakes immediately. Coconut flour pancakes are best served fresh out of the pan. If you need to store them, you can keep them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Conclusion:
Coconut flour pancakes are a delicious and healthy way to start your day on the HCG diet. They're easy to make and can be enjoyed with a variety of toppings. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give these pancakes a try!
