Place all ingredients into a blender or food processor and blitz together until smooth.

Heat ¼ of the coconut oil in a large frying pan over low-medium heat, pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake, and repeat until the pan is filled.

Cook until you start to see bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes, about 1-2 minutes. Then, flip and cook for another minute or until golden brown on both sides.
