Instructions

  • In a blender, add all the ingredients for the pancakes, except for the coconut oil, and blitz until smooth.
  • Add the coconut oil to a non-stick skillet and place over a medium-high heat. Pour ¼ of the pancake batter into the hot skillet and cook the pancake for 2-4 minutes, until bubbles start to appear in the center. Flip the pancake over and cook for a further 2-3 minutes, or until golden-brown and cooked through.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining batter to make 2 large pancakes.
  • Serve the pancakes warm with the chopped pecans and a drizzle of maple syrup.
