Ingredients

Scale

For Pancakes:

  • 3/4 cup full-fat coconut milk (additive-free)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1.5 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup cassava flour
  • 3/4 cup tigernut flour
  • 1/4 cup tapioca starch
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 large ripe banana (about 1/2 cup mashed)
  • Coconut oil for frying

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

Combine all pancake ingredients in a blender in the order listed. Blend briefly until just combined—avoid over-mixing to keep the batter thick and fluffy.

Step 2: Heat the Skillet

Preheat a non-stick skillet over low-medium heat and coat generously with coconut oil.

Step 3: Cook the Pancakes

Spoon small dollops of batter (about 2.5 inches wide) into the skillet. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until bubbles form and edges look set. Flip gently and cook for another 2–3 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more coconut oil as needed.

Step 4: Serve Warm

Transfer pancakes to a plate and serve immediately. Optional: Top with sliced banana or drizzle with maple syrup.

Notes

Serving Suggestions: Pair with fresh fruit, coconut whipped cream, or a drizzle of maple syrup for extra flavor.

Tips & Tricks: Keep pancakes small to ensure even cooking and easy flipping. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. Patience is key—don’t flip too soon!

Storage & Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze individually on parchment paper for up to 2 months. Reheat in a skillet over low heat or pop them in the toaster for crispy edges.
