Ingredients
Scale
Plantain Pancakes
- 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
- 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 salt. Blend everything until you get a smooth and well-combined batter.
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of coconut oil or butter to coat the surface, preparing it for cooking the pancakes.
- Pour Batter: Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Slightly spread the batter out to form circular shapes.
- Cook First Side: Let the pancakes cook for 2-3 minutes, until the edges are set and bubbles start to form on the top surface.
- Flip Pancakes: Carefully flip each pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until the pancakes turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Repeat: Continue cooking the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil or butter to the skillet as needed to prevent sticking.
- Serve: Serve the plantain pancakes warm with your preferred toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or nut butter.
Notes
- Use ripe plantains with black spots for natural sweetness and tenderness.
- Substitute coconut milk with almond, oat, or any milk preference if desired.
- For a vegan version, replace eggs with a flaxseed or chia seed egg substitute.
- Adjust cooking time slightly based on your stove and skillet heat.
- These pancakes are gluten-free and dairy-free, making them suitable for many dietary needs.
