1/4 cup coconut flour

Whisk the wet ingredients, after they are nice add the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
Heat a griddle under medium heat, and spray it with some coconut oil. 
Add your batter to the griddle, about 1/4 cup of batter. cook for 2-4 minutes until lightly browned.
If they are burning you might need to turn the heat down a notch.
Be careful when flipping them, they are kind of flimsy because of the coconut flour, but with practice you will get it!
My kiddos love these also.
you can add some sugar free chocolate chips.
