It's the End of the World as We Know It

Ok, it is not the end of the world. But, at times, my family feels like their world has ended due to the gluten free status of my home. Though I promise them they will live, I come through with pancakes and everyone is happy.

Mom's Happy Pancakes

1 over-ripe banana
6 eggs
1/3 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup of coconut oil or grassfed butter
1/2 cup of coconut flour
pinch of celtic sea salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp of cinnamon

Heat up your skillet or griddle. Mash up the banana. My three year old usually does this with a potato masher and then I finish it with a fork. Mix in the eggs. Add the coconut milk and coconut oil. Add the salt to the liquid. Mix in the coconut flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. 
I use an ice cream scoop to measure out the pancakes. 

You can freeze your over-ripe bananas. Just cut them into pieces and freeze. For this recipe, you will want to thaw them in the frig. You can also substitute pumpkin for the banana. When I use pumpkin, I always add some fresh nutmeg.

For a special occasion, I add dark chocolate chips. Since these heat up so well in the toaster oven, I love them as a snack/treat with a little Justin's Chocolate Hazelnut Spread.

Eat your breakfast, Mom
