Paleo Tatale (Plantain Pancakes)
A savory and slightly sweet Ghanaian plantain pancake recipe, perfect for a light lunch or snack. This paleo version uses coconut flour and coconut milk.
Ingredients
- 2 large Ripe plantains
- 1/4 cup Coconut flour
- 1/4 cup Coconut milk
- 1/4 medium Onion
- 1/2 tsp Ginger
- 1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Coconut oil
Instructions
- 1Peel the 2 large ripe plantains and mash them in a medium bowl until they are smooth.
- 2Add the 1/4 cup coconut flour, 1/4 cup coconut milk, 1/4 medium onion (finely chopped), 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, and 1/4 tsp salt to the mashed plantains. Mix everything together thoroughly until you have a smooth batter.
- 3Place a 10-inch skillet on the stove and heat 1 tbsp of the 2 tbsp coconut oil over medium heat (350°F / 175°C).
- 4Once the oil is hot and shimmering, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet for each pancake. You should be able to fit 2-3 pancakes at a time, depending on your skillet size.
- 5Cook the pancakes for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side, until the edges look set and bubbles start to form on the surface. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes on the second side, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- 6Remove the cooked pancakes from the skillet and place them on a plate. Repeat step 4 and step 5 with the remaining batter, adding the other 1 tbsp of coconut oil to the skillet if it becomes dry.
- 7Serve the Paleo Tatale warm.
