- 3 big bananas (peeled and sliced)
- 1 tsp vanilla powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- 6 tsp butter (for cooking)
Topping
- 50 g dark chocolate (85%, melted)
- 100 g cashew butter
Instructions
- Prepare your bananas: peel and mash them using a fork.
- In a medium bowl add eggs, mashed bananas, vanilla and cinnamon. Use a whisk or a fork to mix everything until well combined.
- Preheat cast iron skillet and melt 1/2 tsp of butter. Note that you’ll be cooking each pancake into 1/2 tsp of butter.
- Use a medium ladle to add the first pancake into skillet.
- Cook on small heat until lightly brown on one side, then carefully flip using a silicone spatula.
- Continue cooking on the other side until done, making sure not to burn the pancake.
- Once done, use a silicone spatula to remove pancake from skillet. Place the pancakes one on top of the other, forming a pancake stack.
- Repeat from #3 until the entire batter is gone, making sure to add 1/2 tsp of butter before cooking each pancake.
- Once the pancakes are ready, melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Once melted decorate the pancakes. For a delicious finish, add a tablespoon of cashew butter on top of the pancake stack.
- Ta-Daa!! Enjoy these paleo pancakes without guilt!
Notes
There’s no need for any kind of sweetener since banana already comes with a lot of sweetness by default.
Feel free to play around with the toppings, you can get very creative with melted chocolate, fresh berries or different kinds of nut butter.
Here’s how to melt the chocolate in a double boiler
- The simplest way is to use a heat-proof bowl placed over a small pot filled with 2/3 water. Add the chocolate inside the main bowl.
- Heat the double boiler over low to medium heat otherwise you risk boiling the chocolate which is something you want to avoid.
- Make sure you don’t add too much water into the pot, otherwise you risk getting water into the mixing bowl.
- The chocolate will melt from the indirect heat generated by the water found in the main pot.
- Once the chocolate has melted, simply remove the bowl from heat and set aside to cool down.
