  • Prep: 20 mins
  • Cook: 20 mins
  • Yields: 2 Servings

Ingredients

1 medium banana, peeled and roughly chopped

2 whole eggs

4 ½ tablespoon grated coconut

4 tablespoon almond meal

¼ teaspoon baking powder, gluten free or 1/4 tsp bicarb soda

1 tablespoon honey

Ghee or coconut oil for cooking

For The Lemon Butter

2 tablespoon butter, grated or mashed if softened at room temperature

½ lemon, zest and juice

Handful of blueberries

Directions

1Grate the butter stick into a ramekin and combine with grated lemon zest and lemon juice. Use a fork to mash the butter and incorporate lemon. Set aside.

2Place banana, eggs and honey in a food processor or a blender and puree until smooth and fluffy.

3Add shredded coconut, almond meal and baking powder and blend until combined, about 20 seconds.

4Heat up a tiny dollop of ghee or coconut oil in a non-stick frying pan.

5Cook pancakes in batches, about 2 tbsp of mixture for a larger pancake and 1 tbsp for a pickelet.

6Keep the heat on low/medium making sure the pancakes don’t burn too quickly and cook thoroughly.

7You know it’s time to turn them over when little bubbles start appearing in the batter. The batter is quite fragile so use two spatulas to turn them over.

8Add a little more ghee or coconut oil in between pancakes.
