3. Heat a frying pan with a little coconut oil over medium heat. Scoop out about a tablespoon full of mixture and squash together with your hands so it won't fall apart. Press onto frying pan and let cook for a few minutes, then gently flip, you may want to use your hands with the spatula. Continue until all the minute is gone.
