detox done right: coconut-banana pancakes

Some of you may know but I like to set myself a little challenge few times a year and go on a full-on detox. Don't get me wrong, I do my best to eat clean every single day but for these few weeks I tighten the rules significantly. I figured, since I'm suffering from not one autoimmune conditions but two (Hashimoto's and IBS), keeping up a clean eating regime is a must. I will be happy to share with you why I detox and how in a separate post soon!

So, these pancakes are just fabulous.

Gluten free, dairy free, grain free, naturally sweetened. 

100% detox, 100% delicious.

To be honest, for the most basic version all you need is 1 egg and 1 ripe banana, toppings of your choice. It's a quick, filling and guilt-free breakfast if you don't have time for anything else.

Then of course you can fancy it up, as I like to do, and end up with a full-on brunch situation. Coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon and coconut yoghurt with fresh fruit on top. YUM!

Recipe below. 

Fancy-pants coconut-banana panckaes

- toppings of your choice (here: almond butter, coconut yoghurt, fresh strawberries)

Instructions:
Mash the banana with the fork. Add an egg and the rest of the ingredients and mix until incorporated into a plain mixture. Leave on a counter for few minutes for the coconut flour to soak in the liquid. If the batter is too thick try adding another egg, if too liquid, add more coconut flour 1 teasppon at a time.
