Method

step 1
To make the pancakes put the flour and baking powder in a bowl and stir together. Mix together the milk, maple syrup, vanilla and coconut oil.
step 2
Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry until you have a batter. Leave to sit for 3 minutes.
step 3
Stir the batter again and pour into a jug.
step 4
Heat a non-stick frying pan with a little more coconut oil. Cooking 2 or 3 pancakes at a time, pour in enough batter to make small, 10cm American-style pancakes. Leave to cook until you see bubbles forming on top of the pancakes, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
step 5
Keep warm in a low oven while you make the rest. Serve stacked and drizzled with maple syrup.
