- ¼ tsp salt

- 2 large eggs

- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

- 125ml milk of choice

- 1 tbsp coconut oil to cook the pancakes or cook spray

- Fruit of choice to serve (1/3 cup blueberries for example)

  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir together until well combined.
  4. Place a pan or griddle on to stove with low-medium heat. Lightly grease the pan using coconut oil or cooking spray. Spoon out the pancake mixture into pan according to desired pancake size.
