Ingredients:

• 3 small bananas, mashed
• 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted and cooled
• Juice of 1 small lemon
• 1 tsp maple syrup
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup oat flour
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp ground nutmeg

Steps:

1. Microwave coconut oil for 10-15 seconds or until completely melted. Let cool for 5-10 minutes.
2. In a small mixing bowl, combine mashed bananas, coconut oil, eggs, lemon juice and maple syrup.
3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking soda, salt and spices.
4. Slowly pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients. Stir until batter is formed.
5. Let the batter sit for 10 minutes. You may want to thin out the batter a bit with a touch of milk or water.
6. Heat a heavy cast iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat.
7. Lightly oil the surface with coconut oil.
8. Once the surface of the pan is hot enough that a drop of water sizzles on it, pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan. Let the pancake cook for about 3 minutes, until bubbles begin to form.
9. Once the underside of the pancake is lightly golden, flip it with a spatula and cook for another 90 seconds or so, until golden brown on both sides. You may need to adjust the heat up or down at this point.
10. Serve immediately or freeze for later.
