8

Ingredients

• 4 tbsp coconut oil
• 2 tbsp honey ( or raw honey)
• 6 large eggs
• 1/2 cup (125ml) milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup (75g) coconut flour, sifted

Method

Step 1. In a large bowl, mix the coconut oil and honey with a whisk vigourously until they are creamed together.

Step 2. Add the eggs, milk and vanilla and whisk thoroughly.

Step 3. Gradually whisk in the coconut flour, bicarbonate soda and salt until you have a nice batter consistency.
