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.
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.
