Chocolate Pancakes

with Caramelised Banana

Serves 4 Preparation time 5 mins Cooking time 15 mins

Pancakes

2 ripe bananas ¼ cup coconut flour ¼ cup cacao powder 3 eggs ¼ cup water 2 tablespoons coconut oil 1 teaspoon baking soda

Pinch of salt Coconut oil, for cooking

Caramelised Banana

2 firm bananas 1 tablespoon coconut oil 1 teaspoon cinnamon

To make the pancakes peel the bananas and place in the food processor along with the other ingredients and blend until smooth. Alternatively you can mash the banana with a fork and whisk the ingredients in a large bowl until smooth. On the stove top, heat a pan over medium heat and coat the pan with a small amount of coconut oil. Pour into the hot pan 2 tablespoons of batter to make a round pancake.

Carefully flip the pancake once the edges start to look cooked. Once both sides are cooked, place the pancake on a plate and repeat until all the batter is used up.

To caramelise the bananas peel and slice them. In a pan over a medium heat on the stove melt the coconut oil. Place the banana pieces in the pan and sprinkle with cinnamon. Turn over once the banana has caramelised.

Tip These pancakes freeze really well. Why not divide them into four serves and place in separate zip lock bags for quick weekday breakfasts.
