Coconut Cherry Pancakes
(Total Time: 20 MIN| Serves: 3)
Ingredients:
1 cup (240 ml) almond flour
1 tsp (5 ml) baking powder
½ cup cream cheese, softened
3 large eggs, beaten
2 tbsp (30 ml) coconut milk
1 tbsp (15 ml) coconut butter, melted
Spices:
1 tsp (5 ml) powdered stevia
1 tsp (5 ml) cherry extract
¼ tsp nutmeg, ground
Directions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine coconut flour, baking powder, stevia, and nutmeg. Stir well using a kitchen spatula. Now, add eggs, cream cheese, coconut milk, nutmeg and cherry extract. With a whisking attachment on, beat until smooth and creamy.
- Plug in your instant pot and grease the stainless steel insert with coconut butter. Pour about 1/3 of the mixture and securely lock the lid. Adjust the steam release handle and press the “Manual” button. Set the timer for 5 minutes and cook on “High” pressure.
- When you hear the cooker’s end signal, perform a quick release of the pressure by moving the valve to the “Venting” position. Open the pot and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Top with some plain yogurt and sprinkle with some shredded coconut
- Serve immediately.

Pro Tips
- Soften the cream cheese fully before beating — smooth, creamy batter is what makes these pancakes pillowy rather than dense.
- Cook one-third of the batter at a time, 5 minutes per pancake, so each one steams through evenly and rises properly.
- The cherry extract carries the whole flavor — a teaspoon is exactly right alongside the nutmeg and coconut.
- Serve immediately with a spoon of plain yogurt and a sprinkle of shredded coconut, as the recipe finishes them.
