  • Heat a large skillet to medium heat and coat with avocado oil or coconut oil.  Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup pour the batter onto the pan.
  • Cook on the first side for about 4-5 minutes and flip.  Cook another 3-4 minutes. The cakes should be browned on both sides when the cakes are done.  Let them cool for a few minutes and enjoy either warm, room temperature or cold.  They will keep for a couple days in the fridge.
