I wonder if the UK version of coconut flour is different than the US, because these were a disaster. The batter turned into concrete immediately, so I added the rest of the can of coconut milk, a little extra banana…still like bread batter. I added an extra cup of water…finally the right consistency, but just completely dissolved in the pan. I finally gave up because I didn’t want to waste the ingredients, so I added 2 eggs and fed them to my non-AIP family because that made them into pancakes.

Hey, thanks for the comment, have been on holiday and am now playing catch up at work. Will give your pancakes a go at the weekend, my 8 year old daughter is a pancake freak!

Hi Marcus.

I have never used plantain flour before, I’m intrigued

I often make coconut flour pancakes for my family.

I also make some great paleo waffles using coconut, almond and tapioca flour which are a huge hit in my house too.

The great thing with both of these recipes is that you can add chic chips, blueberries or what ever takes your fancy to the mix to change them up a bit

Love your blog BTW 😀

Hey Christina . Have you got a link or any information on this? I have never come across this on my own research and we eat a bunch of bananas. They have no real problems and in all the most recent autoimmune research and recommendations by Loren Cordain, Robb Wolf and even Dr. Alessio Fasano I have never seen anyone say to stay of bananas.

That said, they are a fairly heavy source of carbs so I would keep them to a relatively low level, 1 a day or such.

Ultimately, so much of this comes down to the individual so if you think you have a problem with bananas then take them out of your diet for 30 days and then reintroduce, if you have issues you should have enough of a response from this to make a personal and informed decision.

My gut feeling and from all the research I have done is that they are fine!

Hi! I think your blog is awesome. Thank you for all the great info. I have a question; i have heard that bananas are not autoimmune friendly. Is this true? So much conflicting research on this particular subject.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Hey, tapioca flour will do the job just as well or even a simple nut flour like almond meal if you are not having to avoid that for autoimmune reasons. As it happens, you can usually get this plantain flour at the supermarket in the Caribbean section. They have it in the Tesco, Asda etc here else it’s easy to pick up from ebay or amazon. If it’s helpful, I can start including links to some of the more wacky ingredients.

Looks great Marus! Would love to try this but I don’t have plantain flour, and haven’t seen it in any healthstore here (in Ireland). Any alternatives?
