Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 ripe plantains, peeled
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup coconut milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
For Cooking
- Coconut oil or butter for cooking
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the ripe plantains, eggs, coconut flour, coconut milk, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined, forming the pancake batter.
- Heat Skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of coconut oil or butter to lightly coat the surface to prevent sticking.
- Pour Batter: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Spread the batter gently with the back of a spoon to form a circular shape.
- Cook First Side: Allow the pancake to cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges set, and bubbles appear on the surface indicating it is ready to flip.
- Flip and Cook Other Side: Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the pancake is golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat: Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil or butter to the skillet as needed between batches.
- Serve: Serve the warm plantain pancakes with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or nut butter for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- Ensure plantains are ripe for natural sweetness and soft texture.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and achieve golden pancakes easily.
- You can substitute coconut milk with almond, soy, or regular milk based on preference.
- Adjust the amount of coconut flour if batter appears too thick or thin.
- Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container and reheat in a skillet or microwave.
