Ingredients:

Dry Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Wet Ingredients:

• 6 large eggs (room temperature)
• 1/3 cup coconut milk

2. In a medium bowl, beat eggs thoroughly. Add coconut milk, honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until no lumps remain. Let batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken.
