Yield: 6-8 pancakes

2 flax eggs
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup coconut milk
coconut oil for cooking

2. In a large bowl, mash bananas until no large chunks remain.
3. Add all ingredients to the bananas including flax eggs and mix well.
4. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Add a teaspoon of coconut oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
5. Add a generous spoonful of batter into the hot pan and flatten as much as possible. Cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side. Keep the batter amount small so that it’s easier to flip these delicate pancakes. Repeat until the batter is finished.
