Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 240 milliliters Coconut milk
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 Bananas (ripe but firm)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (for caramelising)
- 3 tablespoons Dark brown sugar (for caramelising)
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Shredded coconut (toasted, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and brown sugar.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until you achieve a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter and keep the pancakes warm.
Peel and slice the bananas lengthwise or into thick rounds, depending on your preference.
In a medium-sized skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons of dark brown sugar and stir until melted and bubbly.
Add the sliced bananas to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are caramelised and golden. Drizzle with lime juice and gently toss to coat. Remove from heat.
To serve, stack the Jamaican spiced pancakes on a plate, top them with the caramelised bananas, and sprinkle toasted shredded coconut over the top. Drizzle with maple syrup if desired.
Enjoy immediately while warm!
