GAPS Diet Three Ingredient Pancakes

Sometimes you don't want soup for breakfast. Sometimes you don't want eggs either.  Sometimes you just want....pancakes.  This might be the simplest pancake recipe you will ever try.  It only has three ingredients... well four if you count the coconut oil used to grease the pan. Keep in mind that the recipe may require some slight adjustment -i.e. if you use a larger banana you may need another egg to balance it out. 

My photo below isn't the best and I slightly overcooked these pancakes - you shouldn't expect yours to be so brown.

Three Ingredient Pancakes

2 eggs
1 small banana
vanilla extract
coconut oil

Blend the eggs, banana, and vanilla in a blender until smooth.  Heat a pan over medium heat and grease with coconut oil. Cook using about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake.  Sometimes I cook all of the batter in the pan at the same time and finish the pancake off under the broiler. Then it is one delicious giant pancake.  You can also experiment by adding berries, nuts, cinnamon, etc. to make different flavors.  I typically serve my pancakes with a pat of butter and goats milk kefir... I know...that sounds weird.  It's good, trust me.

If you aren't the goat's milk kefir type then these pancakes would also be nice served with a blueberry honey 'syrup'.  I've made this sauce before sans the honey... essentially just cooked blueberries and lemon zest. It was still good. Of course I imagine it would be better with honey.

Blueberry Honey Syrup
1 c. frozen or fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon of honey
lemon zest (if you want to be fancy)

Gently heat the blueberries and honey until the honey is distributed and the blueberries are syrupy. Add the lemon zest and a tablespoon of water if the berries are too dry. Serve over pancakes.
