Coconut oil is dairy-free and adds a subtle flavor.

Break up the bananas into a bowl and mash them with a fork until smooth.

Add 2 eggs directly into the bowl with the mashed bananas and mix well.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the banana and egg mixture and mix until combined.

Add 1 cup of self-raising flour to the mixture and gently incorporate until a thick batter forms.

Heat a pan over medium heat and add macadamia oil, using a pastry brush to evenly distribute it.

Using a dessert spoon, dollop small amounts of the batter onto the heated pan.

Cook the pikelets for about 1 minute on each side until golden brown and puffed up.

Remove the pikelets from the pan and place them onto a plate, stacking them if desired.

Slice extra bananas and arrange them around the pikelets on the plate.

Drizzle a generous amount of maple syrup over the pikelets before serving.
