I’ve never been much of a breakfast eater, but my boys love breakfast, so I’m always on the lookout for new recipes – and this one is a winner! If I were going to eat a big breakfast, it would definitely be pancakes or waffles, with all the toppings, I’m always up for a twist on a classic recipe.
The smell and taste of this coconut banana pancakes recipe may just remind you of a relaxing vacation, perhaps a trip to the ocean, even a tropical destination. If you’ve ever eaten banana and/or coconut-flavored desserts, especially while relaxing on vacation, this breakfast is sure to bring a smile to your face.
If you’re not sure about the flavor combination, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. You’ll also love how easily everything comes together simply by combining ingredients and mixing with a fork. I think this recipe is perfect as a delicious weekend breakfast or brunch, or, as my boys would tell you, a great option for breakfast-for-dinner (we call it “brinner").

Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
