Latkes are fried pancakes traditionally eaten during Hanukkah, though these apple latkes fried in coconut oil are sweet, warm, delicious, and nourishing any time! Suitable for those on GAPS or SCD.
I serve with full fat homemade yogurt.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Mix grated apple, almond or coconut flour, honey, eggs, cinnamon, and sea salt, making sure to break up any clumps of almond or coconut flour.
- Spoon 1 tablespoon at a time of latke batter into oil, fry for a couple minutes on the first side, or until set and can easily be flipped with a spatula, then another minute on the other side.
- Serve warm, topping with yogurt and additional cinnamon if desired

Can you substitute coconut flour in this recipe. It would be wonderful if more recipes were given with coconut flour. Almond flour is too expensive.
Thank you!
I wouldn’t substitute straight coconut flour, but maybe 1/4 cup rather than the 1-1/2 cups of almond flour. I thought almond flour was expensive too, but a 5-pound bag ends of lasting us quite a while.
The 1 cup called for in this recipes works out to just over $1.
You can order straight from Bob’s red mill company and get almond flour in bulk for a little over $3.00 per pound.
are the elderberries cooked? i used to give my little boy raw elderberries but then someone told me the uncooked skins of the berries (and possibly the seeds) are poisonous and can cause stomach upsets. Not sure if the juicing is ok. i imagine the seeds and skins get left behind in a juicer so might be ok.
It looks like some kinds can be. We haven’t had a problem with these, but I usually only give about a teaspoon per person (like is recommended with juicing) http://www.wildmanstevebrill.com/Plants.Folder/Elderberry.html
What about brown rice flour or GF baking flour?
I think those would work, I’d maybe use just half a cup and then add more and see if that worked, adding more as needed.
Thank you for linking to the “Real Food Holidays” blog carnival. I’m adding this to my to make list for this Hanukkah!
Delicious! I just made these for breakfast (following your recipe exactly). I told my family they were ‘apple fritters’ since they don’t know what a latke is. ;)
If you follow the “Nourishing Traditions” way, shouldn’t the almond flour be made from soaked or sprouted almmonds?
You certainly can, though I use almond flour sparingly and am okay with having unsoaked every once in a while to save time in the kitchen
hi cara. love everything you do/publish to your site. thank you so much for helping heal my little one! what’s on the side in your apple latke’s pic? looks like some kind of whipped cream and choc chips?..
Yogurt and elderberries! :)
My daughter is allergic to eggs. How can I make these pancakes without eggs?
