No Dairy, Gluten, Grain, Sugar Ridiculously Easy PANCAKES!

These are too good to be true. They are overwhelmingly easy to make and so tasty! You could get creative with the toppings and fillings; they are very crepe like! These are very likely going to become a staple in my house!

Makes about 14 pancakes

Ingredients:

2 medium size bananas

3 eggs

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla extract

Coconut oil (or butter)

Sliced cherries and strawberries

- Add bananas, eggs, cinnamon and vanilla to blender. Blend for at least 2 minutes.

- Heat pan to medium heat and add about a tablespoon or so of coconut oil

- Once oil and pan are heated, pour mixture directly from blender into pan to create about 2-3 inch pancakes (I fit 4 in a pan at a time)

- Let cook almost all the way through before flipping. They will bubble through and should not be too hard to flip. Note that they will be darker than "regular" pancakes

- Once all pancakes are made, toss the sliced fruit in the heated pan and stir frequently until fruit is heated. Serve ontop
