If you're looking for a quick, easy fluffy, grain free pancake that tastes good, then you've found it! I've been experimenting with plantains as a flour substitute and so far I've been really happy with the results. Using green plantains does not add a plantain flavor, and the end result is a fluffy pancake with a flour like texture.
The great thing about this recipe, is all you need to do is dump the ingredients into a blender, then pour into the pan. Add any toppings as soon as you put in pan and you're all set!
Depending on the type of blender you have, you may want to blend these at two separate times. First after the plantains and coconut oil, then after the remaining ingredients.
Ingredients
2 green plantains, cut/broken into 1-2 inch pieces.
2 tbsp coconut oil
Blend
2 eggs
1 ripe banana*
1 tbsp coconut flour
1/4 tsp sea salt
Blend
Pour into frying pan, using coconut oil to coat the pan. I find they are easiest to flip sand dollar size.
Top with chocolate chips or blueberries (or other topping) as soon as you pour into pan. Let sit for a minute or two, to allow to firm on one side, before flipping.
My kids and husband love these! Hope you enjoy them, too! ~ C
*I've been using a ripe banana in place of honey or maple syrup in my recipes and it's worked out great. No kid complaints here!
