Hispanic Heritage Month Recipes

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! Each year, from September 15 to October 15 Americans celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month by sharing the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America. 2021 was especially significant because it was the 200th anniversary of Costa Rican Independence from Spain. Here are a few traditional & unique Latin American recipes you may want to add to your menu: 

Fluffy Coconut Flour Banana Pancakes





These past few months have been very hectic and I have neglected my blogging but not my cooking and kitchen experimenting! So after a bit of a break I've returned with a fun creation. Awhile back I picked up some Coconut Flour to play around with.  I tried using it for muffins, scones, pancakes, and it just needed some fine tuning of the 'back of the bag' suggested recipes before I felt comfortable posting any of said recipes. Well, yesterday's Easter Sunday Brunch was test day and it was a hit! 

These fluffy pancakes are full of tropical banana-coconut flavor with just the right amount of sweetness mixed with warm cinnamon and vanilla; Mr. Banana Pancakes himself, Jack Johnson, would approve. Using Coconut flour means that these pancakes are rich in protein, high in fiber and healthy fats, they are gluten free and are exceptionally filling! Truly filling, 3 silver dollars with a side of fresh cut fruit were more than enough for brunch. This is a great healthy, quick, and tasty breakfast dish, only a few ingredients and gluten-free. * You can use Non-Diary Milks, also I did not add any extra sugar because the banana was already super ripe, I leave that addition to your discretion. *

Here's my recipe:

  1. Coconut flour banana pancakes are light and fluffy (in a good way!). Because coconut flour is one-of-a-kind, it makes one-of-a-kind pancakes. They're sweet and delicate but in a delicious, melt-in-your-mouth kind of way. Unfortunately, the delicate nature of coconut flour pancake batter makes it difficult to flip. Pancakes are a favourite of all children. Martabak Manis also includes a large variety of pancakes.
