Hey there! Just poppin’ in for a quick recipe.

I’ve made simple pancakes with just banana and an egg before. They’re good and functional… but sometimes they lack the flavor I seek. These babes are almost as easy. They only require 4 key ingredients, plus a few spices.

As is the sad case, I spotted a few browning bananas the other morning, which is how these babes were born. I’ve already eaten 73621 cookies so I wanted something else. I already had a quiche bakin’ for brunch so I figured why not add some pancakes? And take advantage of the griddle.

The coconut flour is high in protein and fiber and makes the pancakes rather fluffy and light. The cocoa powder adds a nice chocolatey flavor as well as some antioxidants, like selenium, and even modest amounts of iron, copper and magnesium.

Plus, just one tablespoon of cocoa powder offers 2 grams of fiber! Boo yea.
