ALMOND FLOUR:
- Almond flour is an essential ingredient for keto baking that adds a delicate texture and a hint of nutty taste. We have to use the fine and blanched almond flour.
COCONUT FLOUR:
- Coconut flour is added to balance the moisture content in the keto baking as it is very absorbent and it also helps to improve the structure we have to use a small quantity of the coconut flour otherwise the pancakes will get crumbly.
COCONUT MILK:
- Coconut milk will enhance the Thai flavor of these pancakes and we have to use the can of full-fat coconut milk to make these pancakes rich, slightly sweet, and creamy.
EGGS:
- Eggs serve as a binder in keto baking and they also provide protein content.
FRESH GARLIC:
- Garlic is use to make the tasty dish though utilize the garlic powder as a substitute of the garlic.
CHILI FLAKES:

COCONUT OIL:
