Instructions

In a medium bowl, mix together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, gelatin and sea salt.
To a separate medium bowl, add the coconut milk, palm oil or coconut oil, banana, vanilla, and stevia if using, and mix well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix well until smooth. If mixture appear to be too dry, add water until it forms the consistency of a thick pancake batter. Allow mixture to rest for about 20 minutes to give the gelatin time to bloom.
To make pancakes, preheat a large skillet over medium heat with 1 tbsp coconut oil. Once pan is preheated, add 1⁄4 cup portions of the batter to the pan and allow to cook on each side until golden brown. To make waffles, preheat a waffle iron and grease with coconut oil, then scoop 1⁄2 cup portion of the batter into the iron and cook until browned. Once cooked, top your pancakes or waffles with unsweetened jam if desired.
