Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 2 mashed plantains ripe but not too ripe (yellow, or yellow with some brown spots)
  • 1/3 cup oats
  • 3 cups shredded zucchini
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp coconut oil or ghee butter

Instructions
 

  • Place all ingredients in a blender.
  • Puree until smooth.
  • Warm coconut oil or ghee butter (I use a tbsp) in cast-iron pan or skillet (you may need to add oil in between pancakes to prevent sticking)
  • Once oil is hot, drop puree by 1/4 cup on to skillet. 
  • Cook approx. 3 minutes per side or until cooked through.

Notes

An alternative cooking method is to spray a sheet pan and spread the batter on the sheet pan. Cook on 375ºF for 17-20 minutes. Check the center to make sure they're cooked through.
