Ingredients
  

Black Forest Pancakes

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup cherries, pitted
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp stevia
  • 2 tbs cacao powder
  • 1 1/2 cup rolled oats (use certified gluten free to make this recipe gluten free)

Thickened coconut cream

  • 200 g coconut cream
  • 1 tsp stevia
  • 2 tbs arrowroot powder or cornflour (use arrowroot powder to make this recipe gluten free)

Instructions
 

Pancakes

  • Preheat a non-stick (I use cast-iron) frying pan over low-medium heat. Grease the frying pan a little if needed.
  • Blend all pancake ingredients until smooth.
  • Scoop 1-2 tbs of batter for each pancake and spread the pancake slightly with the back of a spoon, so it becomes a neat circle.
  • Fry the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes, or until the top is partially cooked through.
  • Flip the pancakes and fry on the other side for a further minute or two.
  • Set aside while you make the cream.

Thickened coconut cream

  • Stir all cream ingredients together in a small saucepan.
  • Bring to the boil and remove from the heat when the mixture starts to bubble and thicken (should only take a few minutes).

Assembly

  • Layer the pancakes with the cream, ending with the cream.
  • Garnish with more cherries, if desired.
