Mash the banana with a fork in a bowl until smooth. Add the coconut meal and some cinnamon, mix well. Flatten the banana/coconut dough and make small pancakes of them. Put the pancakes in a Food Dehydrator or in the oven until they are crispy on the outside. They shouldn't be completely dry but just on the outsides.
