Filled with sliced banana, pineapple chunks, and shredded coconut, these Fluffy Hawaiian Style Pancakes are sure to be a weekend favorite.
Let’s pretend today is Saturday. Because on Saturday’s I like to eat whatever I want.
Pancakes are the one breakfast item that I can’t resist. It doesn’t matter what diet I am on or if I promised myself that I would just get a veggie omelet. Those big, fluffy, syrup slathered golden disks are my kryptonite.
So naturally when Almond Breeze sent me some of their Almond Coconut Milk to try out, pancakes were the first recipe that came to mind.
This recipe was inspired by our favorite little breakfast spot. A few months ago I shared this delicious Peanut Butter French Toast and you all loved it! So today I am sharing another breakfast favorite from their recipe box; Fluffy Hawaiian Style Pancakes.
These truly make the most gorgeous pancakes! The Almond Breeze Almond Milk Coconut Milk gives them a hint of coconut flavor and a subtle sweetness while the brown sugar makes them almost caramelized. Pure perfection. The baking powder in these make for the fluffiest pancakes.
These pancakes have all my favorite Hawaiian flavors; macadamia nuts, pineapple, sliced banana, and they are topped with shredded coconut. To really throw these over the top, you absolutely must drench them in sweet, sticky coconut syrup. Of course pure maple syrup does the trick too.
Now I am just trying to convince myself that I don’t need to eat these every day of the week!
