What is coconut flour
Coconut flour is made from dried coconut meat. It’s low in carbs and high in protein and fiber. It’s a very popular substitute for wheat flour for people with wheat allergy or celiac disease. Coconut flour is very absorbent compared to plain flour so you can’t just substitute it in recipes.

Ingredients & How-to
The recipe has only 4 ingredients! Eggs, banana, coconut flour and vanilla extract..simple. For full quantities check the recipe down below.
01. I start by mashing the banana with a fork or a masher. It’s better if you use a ripe banana as it’s easier to mash and also will add more taste to the pancakes. Then I mix the mashed banana, eggs and vanilla extract until all is well combined. Finally, I add the coconut flour in and give it a mix.
02. I add a bit of oil to a nonstick frying pan and heat it up over medium heat. I add a scoop of the pancake batter in and leave it for a couple of minutes to cook before flipping it over to cook on the other side too. Simple as that!
