ISLAND PANCAKES

In honour of pancake tuesday, I have made my Island Pancakes. These soft, fluffy, banana pancakes have warm spices and a hint of coconut.

Ingredients
  

  • cup pancake mix

  • 2 bananas ripe
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • In a blender, add the milk, bananas, coconut oil, vanilla, and egg. Blend into a liquid.
  • In a bowl, add dry ingredients. Mix together with a whisk to get rid of any lumps. Add wet ingredients to the dry mix. Mix well.

  • Finish with maple syrup and coconut to garnish. 

Notes

I use pancake mix because it’s quick and easy.  My favourite is the PC Organics brand.
Make sure when buying a pancake mix it’s not the “just add water” one. I go organic when I can, but it’s not mandatory for this recipe. With that being said, when I’m using something processed like pancake mix, I use organic because other brands put too many additives into the products.
