Tender, slightly sweet pancakes topped with juicy figs and pomegranate seeds. Using coconut flour means this recipe is naturally gluten free and paleo. Be careful when flipping the pancakes as the batter is fairly tender. You'll get about 20 little pancakes from the mix, which makes for about four greedy servings.
Ingredients
For the pancakes
75g coconut flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp ground cinnamon
pinch salt
4 large free range eggs
250g coconut milk
1 tbsp coconut nectar (honey or maple syrup will also work)
coconut oil, for frying
To serve
Yoghurt (Greek, goat or coconut)
4 plump figs, quartered
seeds from half a large or one small pomegranate
1 lime, for zesting
more coconut nectar, honey or maple syrup, to drizzle
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Make a well in the middle and whisk in the eggs, coconut milk an nectar until smooth.
Heat a little coconut oil in a medium pan and spoon in heaped tablespoons of batter, using the back of a spatula to flatten and make sure they are spaced apart. You should be able to fit 3 - 4 pancakes in the pan at once.
Cook for about 3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles begin to appear in the batter, then flip and cook for a further 1 – 2 minutes.
As you cook them, stack your pancakes on a plate covered with foil to keep them warm. To serve, top stacks of pancakes with a dollop of yoghurt, the fruit, a scrape of lime zest and a drizzle of coconut nectar.
