Method:
Put all of the ingredients except for the oil into a blender and mix together. Add a dash of water if necessary to achieve the right consistency. The mixture should be quite thick yet runny enough to pour.
 
Heat some of the coconut oil in a large non-stick pan over a medium/high heat. Pour one quarter of the mixture into the centre of the pan.
 
Move the pan around gently to even out the mixture into a circular shape. When small holes appear in the pancake (around 1-2 minutes), turn or flip it over and cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes.
 
Transfer pancake to a plate. Add more oil to the pan and repeat the process four times with the remaining batter.
Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
 

Serving suggestion: Serve with a dollop of Greek yoghurt, black cherries (fresh or frozen) and some grated dark

chocolate.
