Ingredients

  • 2 c All Purpose Flour
  • 3 tsp Baking Powder
  • 3 tbsp Cane Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
  • 10 tbsp Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
  • 2 Bananas, medium-sized, small dice
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 c Coconut Water
  • 1 c Coconut Milk
  • 3/4 c Whole Milk
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Oil, melted
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter, melted (+ more to butter griddle)
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spray, for griddle

Instructions

Mise en place & mix

  1. Sift flour and baking powder into a large bowl.
  2. Add sugar, salt and shredded coconut. Mix lightly with a wooden spoon.
  3. In a separate bowl, lightly whisk eggs, coconut water, coconut milk, whole milk, vanilla extract, coconut oil and butter.
  4. Make a well in the center of flour mixture and pour in milk mixture.
  5. Mix lightly to combine, leaving batter clumpy.
  6. Add bananas to batter, briefly stir to distribute evenly.
  7. DO NOT overmix (or they will get tough and chewy), a few lumps are ok.

Cooking

  1. Heat lightly oiled griddle to 275 °F (or frying pan on medium), using a combination of spray and butter.
  2. Ladle or pour batter onto griddle, using 1 cup sized ladle or measuring cup for large cakes, 1/4 cup for small.
  3. Cook until top of pancakes have bubbles and a few bursts, 2 - 3 minutes. Flip carefully with a thin spatula.
  4. Cook until brown and crisp, about 2 - 3 minutes, adding more spray and butter if needed.

Eat!

  1. Transfer to plate or platter and serve.
  2. The Rock eats these with Peanut Butter on top and (real) maple syrup poured over
