Ingredients

  • For the pancakes:
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp + 2 tsp Low fat buttermilk
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 tsp Honey
  • 2 tsps Coconut oil melted
  • 1 Cup Hazelnut meal 92 g
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 Cup Mashed banana about 1 small
  • For the chocolate dipping sauce:
  • 1/4 Cup Heavy cream OR Full fat Coconut milk
  • 1/2 Tbsp Honey
  • 3 1/2 oz Semi-sweet chocolate chopped
  • 2 Medium bananas sliced
  • 8 skewers

Instructions

  • Preheat a large griddle on medium heat, mine was 325 degrees.* Also, preheat an oven to 200 degrees, to keep cooked pancakes warm.
  • In a large food processor, place the vanilla, buttermilk, eggs, honey and coconut oil. On top of the wet ingredients, add the hazelnut meal, baking soda and salt.
  • Process until well combined, and a thick batter is formed.
  • Add in the the mashed banana, processing again until the banana is incorporated.
  • Drop pancake batter onto the heated griddle, using a 1/2 tbsp measuring spoon to measure. Slightly spread out with a spoon, but you want to keep the pancakes small.
  • Cook until the outsides of the pancake are set and the underside is a deep golden brown, about 4-6 minutes.** Gently flip and cook an additional 3-5 minutes on the other side.
  • Repeat until the batter is gone, storing any pancakes in the preheated oven to keep warm until ready to serve.
  • While the pancakes cook, you can make the chocolate sauce (this can also be made the day before.)
  • In a small pot, heat the cream and the honey together until just boiling.
  • Remove from the heat and add in the chopped chocolate.
  • Let the mixture stand for 30 seconds, and then whisk until the the sauce is smooth and the chocolate is melted and mixed in.
  • To assemble the skewers:
  • Place one banana slice, one pancake, another banana, another pancake and then one more banana and pancake onto the bottom half of a skewer. Repeat until all the pancakes are gone.
  • Serve with chocolate sauce and DEVOUR!

Notes

I also tested this recipe on a regular pan on a stovetop for you non-griddle owners, and medium heat was too hot. My stovetop was best at medium low.
*I knew the pancakes were ready to flip by gently lifting the corners, and when they moved around easily when lightly pushed with my flipper.
