Paleo Pancake Recipe (Coconut Flour Pancakes)
This recipe combines ripe bananas, eggs, and coconut flour to create thick, fluffy pancakes with a subtle sweetness and a tender texture. The batter thickens sufficiently for easy cooking, and coconut oil provides a lightly crisp edge when frying.
Ingredients
- 3 banana large, ripe
- 6 egg large
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- coconut oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. (You could preheat more than one skillet to speed up the cooking process.)
- Place the bananas, eggs, coconut flour and 2 pinches of salt in the blender. Puree until smooth. The batter should be thick, but pourable. If it seems thin, add 1-2 more tablespoons of coconut flour.
- Brush the skillet lightly with coconut oil. Pour in a 3-inch circle of batter. Shake the skillet gently to spread the batter into a 4-inch circle. Cook for 2-4 minutes until the bottom of the pancake is golden-brown and the edges are firm.
- Flip gently with a flexible spatula, and continue cooking another 2-4 minutes. If the bottoms turn dark, lower the heat a little.
Notes
- Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- Freeze individual cooled pancakes wrapped in plastic, then place in a sealed bag for up to 2 months.
- Thaw frozen pancakes in the refrigerator, at room temperature, or using the microwave's defrost setting before reheating.
- Reheat pancakes in short bursts at 50% microwave power or on a stovetop to avoid drying out.
