2 tbsp poppy seed

Place banana, eggs, vanilla and lemon zest in blender and blend until smooth and fluffy. Add coconut, almond meal and baking powder and blend again until all mixed.

Heat up some coconut oil in a flat frying pan over medium-low heat. Add pancake mixture in 2 tbsp batches, cook for 1-2minutes on each side, turning when little bubbles start appearing in the batter. Flip, and cook until lightly browned. Whip lemon butter ingredients, add a dollop to each pancake and top with berries to serve.
