Gluten Free Coconut Flour and Banana Pancakes

These pancakes are awesome!  I am on a special diet for allergies and I can't eat grains, but I can eat these.  How much you appreciate a food that has been missing from your diet for two years when you can't eat it.  This would work for many diets, Paleo, low-carb, SCD, Gluten Free, and GAPS.

To get the most nutrition out of my eggs I have used these Omega-3 eggs. 

Look how fluffy and delicious these pancakes are only with 2 tablespoons of coconut flour.
This recipe was adapted by me from the SCD.  It is gluten/wheat, soy, dairy, tree nut, and peanut free.  ( Coconut is in the palm family and it is actually the seed of a drupaceous fruit, not a tree nut.)  This is a 1-2 serving recipe for creating a meal for the one person in the house that can't eat like everyone else!  That would be me.

Coconut Flour and Banana Pancakes

Ingredients:
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 banana (mashed)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons coconut flour
1 tablespoon coconut oil

Beat eggs, mash banana and combine.  Add vanilla, salt, honey, and coconut flour.  Mix well.  Drop on a hot skillet with coconut oil already melted over medium heat.  Let the pancakes cook through.  They won't bubble exactly like wheat flour, but they will puff up.  Check frequently and turn when the pancake has had enough time to cook through and not burn.  Serve with honey.   

  I have been in search of a list of foods to eat to go with my allergies for two years and it seems to be getting easier to find foods I can eat.  More and more information is being shared everyday about the increase in allergies and ways to survive it.  The more I learn the more I will share.
