Tips
Got extra ripe bananas? Make more waffles and freeze the leftovers for a quick and easy future morning. Wrap each pancake individually in plastic wrap for easy defrosting.
Here's how to whip coconut cream. Let a can of coconut milk sit in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to separate the cream from the water. Open the can carefully and remove the cream part with a spoon. Place in a bowl and whisk with a hand blender for a few minutes. Save the coconut water for use in smoothies!

Topped it with butter, homemade whipped cream, pecans, and ChocZero coconut syrup. I'll definitely make these again.
I add some chopped up 85% chocolate pieces once in awhile as a treat. So yummy!
It will be a much different texture and consistency if you leave it out.
This recipe as written makes 8 total servings.
These are 4g carbs per serving. The number in the orange circle indicates the carb count. Additionally, the full nutrition information is listed in the Nutrition+ tab under the list of ingredients.
You can thaw them and then reheat in a toaster oven.
We have not tested these as pancakes, I am not sure how the batter would react.
Hi
Any guidance for oven baking?
We would not recommend cooking these in an oven. However, they can be reheated in a toaster oven!
You may want to try using less coconut milk. They may have been too thin for pancakes.
In order for a recipe to be keto, it needs to have specific percentages of fat and protein. This recipe only has 5g protein. If you have it with some sausage or bacon, it could make a well rounded keto meal! You can read more about this in footnote 3 at this link:

It is supposed to be thick, but if you find that it's too thick, you might try adding a little more coconut milk.
So glad you enjoyed them!

Grams are a unit of weight measurement where milliliters are a unit of volume measurement. In some cases, they may be equal but not always; it depends on the density of what you're measuring. Just as an example, if you had the same volume of bricks and feathers, the bricks would weigh far more than the feathers.
