Tropical Banana Coconut Flax Pancakes

My husband loves pancakes; he also loves coconut and bananas!  When I saw this recipe for Tropical Banana Coconut Flax Pancakes I knew I had to make them.  I love that I'm able to add in flax seed which adds fiber, omega 3s, and essential fatty acids.  Please note, this recipe does call for different types of flour and potato starch which you can find at the health food store or even your grocery store.  These pancakes are a healthy treat and a pleasure to eat! 

 
Ingredients are as follows:  

1/3 cup brown rice flour
1/3 cup white rice flour
¼ cup sugar
3 tablespoons potato starch
4 tablespoons coconut flour
3 tablespoons Carrington Farms Organic Milled Flax Seed
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt teaspoon salt
1 banana, sliced
2 eggs
1 ¼ cups milk, at room temperature
¼ cup Carrington Farms Coconut Oil, melted or Carrington Farms Liquid Coconut Cooking Oil
 
Carrington Farms Coconut Oil or Carrington Farms Liquid Coconut Cooking Oil for griddle in place of butter

Fruit, Coconut Shavings, or syrup for as a topping.


Directions:   

1. In a large bowl, whisk the dry ingredients (the first 8 ingredients listed).
   
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and coconut oil.
   
3. Add the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until combined.  If the batter appears too thick, add milk to thin it to your liking.
   
4. On a preheated pan or griddle, melt coconut oil and distribute evenly.
   
5. Scoop ¼ batter onto the pan and allow to spread out.
   
6. Once pancakes begin to set, add the fresh banana slices.
   
7. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes depending on the size of your pancakes. The bottoms should be golden before you flip them.
   
8. Flip the bananas and cook 1-2 minutes longer or until that side of the pancake is golden. 
   
9. Serve with more bananas, coconut shavings, or maple syrup!
