Move over banana, I got a fever for the flavour of plantain. With only 4-ingredients you can make this grain-free (Paleo) super-nutritious pancakes. Using a blender for this batter means you get a smooth consistency that comes together in less than a minute. Plus the subtly-sweet flavour makes them the perfect on-the-go snack. I love making little almond butter sandwiches with them.
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe plantains
- 3 large eggs
- 1 Tbsp coconut flour
- 3 Tbsp coconut oil or butter, melted
- Pinch salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Butter or coconut oil for greasing pan
Method:
Peel and break plantains up into chunks. With a hand immersion blender, blender, or food processor, blend plantains with all remaining ingredients until you have a buttery smooth consistency. Preheat a large non-stick frypan over medium flame. Melt butter or coconut oil to lightly coat the pan and pour in batter to make pancakes about 4-inches in diameter. Cook for about 2-3 inches on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Pancakes may be a little harder to flip than regular pancakes so keep them small in size for easier flipping. Serve will all your favourite toppings.
