I’m already ready for the weekend. Yesterday I went in for my bi-annual haircut. I only get my haircut twice a year, and sometimes resort to cutting it myself. Gasp. You would think I am just trying to save money, but in reality I have a deep fear of getting my haircut! I know it is completely ridiculous and vain. I can’t help it. I went to someone new since I just moved, and my anxiety slowly started to seep in. Thankfully as usual, my fears weren’t justified at all! I love my haircut and might even share a selfie on Instagram. Pretty exciting stuff.
I’m so excited about this recipe! I love pancakes, like really love them. Pancakes were a staple in my house when I was little. I wanted to make pancakes into a finger food for my nieces. These little pancake poppers are the perfect twist on the classic pancake made in my cake pop maker. They make the perfect dippers into a big bowl of maple syrup. Makes about 22 pancake poppers.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 2 large eggs
- 4 Tbls full-fat coconut milk
- 1 Tbls honey
- 1/4 cup mini-chocolate chips
- coconut oil
Directions
- In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, baking soda & salt.
- In 2 different bowls, separate the eggs whites from the yolks. Set the egg whites aside.
- Blend together the egg yolks, coconut milk and honey.
- Add the liquid ingredients to the dry and mix well. Mix in chocolate chips.
- Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they have medium soft peaks. Gently fold into the pancake mixture until well combined.
- Pre-heat your cake pop maker. Brush the holes with a little coconut oil.
- Use a teaspoon cookie scoop to fill the holes. Be sure to not over fill.
- Cook for 90 seconds, then flip donut holes and cook for another 90 seconds.
- Every cake pop maker is a little different so times can vary. I suggest doing a test batch of three first.
- Serve with maple syrup for dipping.
Enjoy!

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who gets haircut anxiety! I get my friend to make the appointment for me because otherwise I’ll just put it off forever! Once I went about 2 years between haircuts … These pancake poppers look amazing, thanks for sharing the recipe 🙂
I’m glad I’m not the only one too! Haircuts are just stressful! haha
These just might ward off that stress. I recently let my guard down, I too have that same anxiety, and low and behold… worst. haircut. ever. To top it off I was filming the next week for a national tv show… Yikes!
Oh no!! That sucks! I’ve definitely had some bad haircuts, but never had to deal with the whole world seeing it!
Any tips/ideas for how I could make these without a cake pop maker? I don’t have one and am trying to limit the number of kitchen gadgets that I have… but these look awesome and I really want to try them!
You can use a mini muffin tin and bake them at 400 degree for about 11 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. You can also use a muffin tin as well but just fill them 1/4 of the way full. Alternatively you can make them on a griddle but I know that isn’t as fun!
Do you think I could add a little pumpkin into these babies, or would I need to up the ante on the flour amount?
I love that idea but I think you would have to up the flour just a bit or possibly cut a tablespoon of coconut milk!
Would almond milk be okay to sub for coconut milk? Coconut milk bothers my tummy.
