Directions
1Combine the strawberries, orange, and stevia extract in a bowl; let stand for at least 15 minutes or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
2Sift the baking flour, protein powder, arrowroot, baking powder, baking soda, and stevia extract through a wire strainer into a medium bowl; add the pecans and whisk to mix.
3Combine the coconut milk and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir with a rubber spatula until just moistened.
4Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of the coconut oil and swirl to coat.
5Cook 4 pancakes at a time; for each, spoon 2 slightly rounded tablespoons into the pan and spread into a thin 3-inch-diameter pancake. Cook until the tops of the pancakes have some bubbles and the bottoms are golden, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook 3 minutes longer, or until golden brown and cooked through.
6 Repeat with the remaining oil and batter. Serve topped with the fruit mixture.
