After
trying a coconut flour pancake recipe I thought there was no hope for me to eat pancakes, until I recently discovered a blog post by The Paleo Mom.
She has experimented with various recipes that include almond and coconut flour, both
of which do not turn out just right. They are difficult to flip, take a long
time to cook or the texture is just not right. This recipe really intrigued me.
It’s made with no flour, just plain old green plantains!
This
was actually my first time ever having green plantains and let me tell you, I
was extremely excited. I can now enjoy some pancakes for my Sunday morning breakfast. These pancakes melt
in your mouth and they cook just the same as regular pancakes.
This
recipe makes about 9 pancakes.
Ingredients:
• 2 large green
plantains (about 2 cups pureed)
• 4 eggs
• 2 t. vanilla
• 3 T. coconut
oil
• 1/8 t. salt (a
generous pinch)
• ½ t. baking soda
• Oil for frying
(coconut or grapeseed oil)
• Fruit (ie.
strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• Pure Maple Syrup
Instructions
1. Cut the plantains in 1/3 then peel and place
pieces into blender.
2. Add the remaining ingredients to the blender and
blend for about 1-2 minutes until
it forms a smooth batter.
3. On a griddle or
frying pan over medium-high heat add 1 Tbsp of coconut oil.
4. Pour about ¼ cup
of batter into the frying pan or until your pancake is the desired
size.
5. Let the batter cook
for 4-5 minutes on the first side, until the top looks fairly dry with
little
bubbles in it.
6. Flip
pancake and cook for 1½-2 minutes.
7. Repeat with
remaining batter, while adding a more coconut oil to your pan as
needed.
8. Top pancakes
with fruit and pure maple syrup and serve!
