  • Ingredients

  • 1/2 mashed banana

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

  • 3 Tbsp flaxmeal

  • 4 tsp coconut oil, divided

  • 1/2 cup oat flour

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

  • 1/4 cup orange juice

  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

  • Pinch coarse salt

  • Orange segments for serving

  • Honey for serving

Directions

  • Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, almond milk, flaxmeal, and orange juice. Stir until well combined.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the oat flour, shredded coconut, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and coarse salt.
  • Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Let the batter sit for a few minutes to thicken.
  • Heat the Pan: In a non-stick skillet or griddle, heat 2 teaspoons of coconut oil over medium heat. Once hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet.
  • Cook the Pancakes: Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil as needed.
  • Serve: Stack the pancakes on a plate, top with orange segments, and drizzle with honey before serving.
