Method
step 1
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.
step 2
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.
step 3
Meanwhile, microwave the berries and remaining syrup for 2 mins, stirring halfway, to make a compote. Serve with the pancakes.
