Flourless Cinnamon Banana Pancakes
Ingredients
• 2 eggs, beaten (or substitute 2 chia or flax eggs)
• 1/3 cup SuperFat Macadamia and Almond or Cacao Coconut nut butter
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 tablespoon ground flaxseed
• 1/2 cup low-fat or nonfat plain Greek yogurt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon coconut or avocado oil (for pan)
• Splash of plant-based milk to batter if needed to thin
• Optional: add 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup to batter for extra sweetness
Instructions
1. Mix wet ingredients together well, then add dry ingredients and mix. Batter should remain lumpy. Do not re-stir after it sits — otherwise the pancakes will not be
fluffy.
2. Add 1 teaspoon coconut oil to a griddle set to medium-high.
3. Scoop 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle, placing as many as you can fit on the pan.
4. Cook 3-4 minutes on first side, flip, then cook another 2 minutes or until golden brown.
5. Re-oil pan before cooking rest of batter. Serve warm.
