Gluten free choco banana pancakes


Today i came across this awesome gluten free banana flour by Kadhali at Natures Basket in Hill Road. I was so excited as its affordable and local compared to the other imported GF flours. I had to give it a shot and came up with this recipe. I threw in some cacao and mashed bananas and it came out pretty good. Here you go guys: 


Ingredients:
1 cup (130 g)  Banana Flour
3 tablespoons pure honey
3 eggs
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
pinch of salt

3T toasted grated coconut
130 ml coconut milk
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
1/2 cup mashed bananas
1T cacao powder
coconut oil or nonstick spray - for cooking                                                               

Method:
   Combine all ingredients and whisk well till no lumps appear in the mixture. 
   Heat the pan and put 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil or spray with non-stick butter spray.
   Flip over each side once bubbles appear. 
   Eat with honey or maple syrup and a knob of butter ( i just had to ! haha )

Sweets for my sweet

Hi everyone,

Had such a long tiring day today, went to the office and ran a few errands and I'm now at home with a huge ice cream craving! I whipped up something sweet to tame the sweet tooth. It was not only sweet but tasted just like ice cream too and minus the cream! 

Carla's-Scream-4-icecream ! 

Ingredients: 

4 frozen ripe bananas 
1T raw cacao nibs 
1T mesquite powder (optional) 

Method: 

Put all ingredients in a food processor and blend till a soft smooth consistency. 


The mesquite powder is optional if you like your desserts very sweet. I prefer to do without it. 

You could add raw cacao paste or cacao powder to turn this into an amazing choco banana frozen dessert! 

Top with some raw peanut butter and some coconut whipped cream for a total indulgence!!  

😘💋
