Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • Juice of half an orange
  • 2 bananas, divided
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 2 egg whites
  • 4 tbsp coconut flour
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ginger
  • ¼ cup pecans, chopped
  • 2 tsp coconut oil for frying
  • Fresh berries and dried coconut for serving

Preparation

For sauce:

In a sauce-pot on medium high, heat 2 cups raspberries and orange juice for 10-12 minutes until thickened. Feel free to gently mash the berries. Strain through a sieve making sure to press firmly so all the juice comes out.

For pancakes:

Mash 1 banana in a large mixing bowl. Add 2 whole eggs and whisk until combined. Stir flour, and spices into wet mixture. In a separate bowl beat egg whites until firm. Gently fold into batter along with pecans, and your second banana, sliced into thin rounds.

Add 2 tsp coconut oil to a non stick pan over medium low heat. Swirl around to coat the pan. Add 4 ladles of batter to the pan, this should use up all of the batter. Cook a few minutes per side, paying close attention as coconut flour can quickly burn. Flip over and cook until golden brown. Serve with your sauce, fresh berries and dried coconut, enjoy!
