Method
To make the syrup mix together the juice and maple syrup in a small pan and simmer over a low heat for 10 minutes until it reduces and thickens.  Take off the heat and set to one side.
In a small frying pan heat 1 tsp of coconut oil over a high heat.  Place the orange slices in one layer and leave to fry for a couple of minutes on each side until they begin to caramelise. Add to the syrup and place in a jug/ small bowl.
To make the crepe batter, whisk together all the ingredients until they form a smooth batter.
Heat a small (20cm) frying pan over a high heat and add one tsp of coconut oil in the pan, when melted move around until the pan is evenly covered.
Pour a large spoon of batter onto the pan in one even layer. Lift and swivel the pan to cover it with an even layer of batter.  Leave to fry for 2-3 minutes until the edges start to turn a golden brown.
Using a spatula, loosen the pancake from the pan, flip over and cook for a further two minutes until golden brown.  Fold over as desired, serve immediately. Serve with a pour of maple & blood orange syrup.
