Chocolate & banana pancakes

Standard

If you liked our recipe for the chocolate oatmeal breakfast I posted a few weeks ago, we have a reason to believe that this following one might be a winner, too.

Honestly, who doesn’t love pancakes? They are one of the best ways (in terms of food) to say ‘I love you’ in the morning, either if you are with your significant other, or if you just make them for yourself – seriously, self-love is just as important! 😛

In our Hungarian cuisine we have crêpe-style pancakes. As you can see, the ones in this recipe resemble the North American version much more. Anyways, it is great that if you follow the paleo diet, you do not need to give up your love for pancakes. Generally, paleo isn’t about giving up; you can enjoy your food just as much (or actually, much more!), however, with certain dishes you should substitute some of the ingredients with healthy ones in order to keep making them.

This is just one of the versions of paleo pancakes we have made, and to be honest, all of them have been delicious. I wouldn’t be surprised if more popped up here on the blog in the future, but for now, I present you the macadamia nut flour version.

Here are the ingredients that will give you a generous amount for 2 people.

For the dough:

  • 4 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons of macadamia nut flour
  • 1 tablespoon of coconut flour
  • a level coffeespoonful of baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon of erythritol
  • a pinch of salt

If the dough is still too liquidy, add another spoonful of coconut flour. You should have a thick pancake dough, but note that coconut flour needs a little time to soak up the liquids. If you let it sit for ten minutes, it might even become too thick.

Fry the pancakes in a pan on some coconut oil until they’re nice and brown like in the photo (they tend to stick a little too easily, so be generous with the oil), and you’ll need a spoon to form round pancakes, they’ll be very randomly shaped if you just pour the dough. 🙂

 

For the cream:

  • 2dl of coconut cream
  • 100g of dark chocolate (it should contain at least 70% cocoa solids)
  • a pinch of salt

Melt everything together in a pot on very low heat, keep stirring to get a nice even consistency. These ingredients will give you a semi-sweet taste, so add some erythritol if you need to.

For serving, cut up two bananas and sprinkle the finished pancakes with some powdered erythritol. We love you loads!!! 😀
