Ingredients

Nut and Seed Butter Mixture

  • 1 cup nut and seed butter* see below
  • 3 tbsp honey local to your area
  • 1/2 cup fresh coconut meat (or dry unsweetened flakes) organic of course
  • 1-2 tbsp coconut water organic of course
  • 1 tsp cardamom organic of course

Pancakes

  • 2 whole eggs organic of course
  • 2 whole over ripe bananas organic of course
  • 1/2 cup nut and seed butter mixture from above
  • 1/2 cup gluten free flour* see below
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil or melted coconut oil organic of course
  • 1 pinch sea salt

Instructions

  • Cut open a fresh coconut by trimming the husk from the tip 1/4 all the way around until you hit the hard coconut shell. Then use the butt of the knife and knock a line in a circle around the top. Eventually the shell will crack and you can lift the top off. Put a cup, one that can hold at least 2 cups of liquid, over the hole and flip the coconut to catch the coconut water. Use a spoon to scoop out the soft meat of the coconut.
  • Blend the soft coconut and 1 tablespoon of coconut water.
  • If you don't have a fresh trimmed coconut, use unsweetened dried coconut flakes and some coconut water. Let's Do Organic Shredded Unsweetened Coconut is a great option.
  • Mix blended coconut with nut and seed butter, honey and cardamom. 
  • In a separate bowl, measure 1/2 cup of the nut mixture and mix or blend with eggs, bananas, GF flour, salt and oil.
  • Heat a frying pan over medium heat with a splash of oil. Pour mixture into small pancakes. You may need to use a small spatula to help spread the mixture.

Notes

For the nut and seed mixture, NuttZo Organic Power Fuel is a delicious and nutritious option. 
You can also choose to make this recipe without the flour. I use the gluten free Namaste Organic Perfect Flour Blend because it gives a little more substance for my daughter to be able to eat with her fingers and enjoy as a snack anytime.
