Banana Pancakes in Hawaii
So I’ll admit. I start thinking about the weekend around Wednesday. It begins when I imagine what will be for breakfast. At our house, Jeff is the breakfast cook, there are two things which make getting out of bed an event to look forward to: eggs and coconut-banana pancakes. To celebrate the fact that I am finally home (Hawaii) I think I will request the pancakes.
Here’s how to eat banana pancakes like you are in Hawaii.
Turn on Jack Johnson
Gather items while sashaying around the kitchen in grass skirt:
2 cups Bisquick
1 cup of coconut milk* SHAKEN
2 eggs
3 medium ripe bananas cut into 1/2 inch thick pieces
Pre-heat stove. Whatever you use to make pancakes, griddle, pan, etc. don’t overheat it. Medium heat will produce a nice, lightly browned pancake.
Begin brewing Kona Coffee. Expensive, but worth it.
Blend the first three ingredients in a bowl. Be nice to your future pancakes, don’t over mix, a little lumpiness is OK. You can let them chill in the refrigerator for a few minutes for better consistency.
Set table, remember butter so its nice and soft, also take out any syrups so they are closer to room temperature.
Cut Papaya (hey! I said we were in Hawaii!)
Generously butter the pan, griddle, etc.
Pour pancakes
Gently press 3-4 pieces of banana in the batter. You want the banana lightly touching the pan. Flip when pancakes begin to

bubble.
we keep our pancakes covered with a slightly damp clean papertowl in the oven on a low, low heat as we prepared the rest of the pancakes.
Serve with coconut syrup. If that’s too sweet for you, consider creme fraiche or a coffee syrup.
Pack up your gear and head to the beach for a swim. You will need the exercise.
Aloha!

Mmmmmmm soooooo good!
Thanks, Mia! You can have a little Hawaii at home…whenever you want!
That looks and sounds so yummy! Maybe it tastes even better in Hawaii? BTW love Jack Johnson and that song! We need to get back there! Love your blog! You crack me up!
@Sarah – I bet it tastes just as good in Phoenix! Just turn on the Jack Johnson and tah-dah! Hawaii! Have a great weekend and thanks for reading. Please come back!
Hi Tara – This is absolutely up my alley. Girl, you had me at coconut!
I will definitely be making these soon & will keep you posted. I love a super easy breakfast that begin with Bisquick – so much for the gourmet cook in me yea?
Yum..yum..yum
Ciao, Devaki @ weavethousandflavors
@Devaki – I have to say..that in the case of breakfast, its all Bisquick all the way. I just can’t find a fundamental difference in the quality of the food..and since even “home made” pancakes have processed flour..I give myself a pass! BTW – we are having your famous meatballs tonight…but with veal!
Dear Tara – I am so thrilled that you decided to make the meatballs
I am most curious to see how they turn out with veal alone,if that’s the route you’re going. In my experience, without the pork (be it Italian sausage or just regular ground pork) the meatballs turn out tough. Which is why I use pork even in my chicken meatballs – crazy right?
I hope they were a roaring success…fingers crossed….:)
Ciao, Devaki @ weavethousandflavors
I love your sense of humor! And now I finally know what to do with the grass skirt lol. Now about that syrup…better be REAL maple syrup, right? Pancakes looks awesome
Evelyn – thanks for stopping by! I hope you come back again! Mahalo!
Im making these tomorrow!! YUMMO!!! I can not wait who would have thought so many things to do with coconut milk!! and to think I have only ever used to make a thai peanut sauce!!! Guess a foodie I am not…
That sounds delicious! I’ll definately have to try that next time I’m maligned breakfast!
@Mattheous – it IS tasty…a great weekend treat!
I wonder how will it would take to being changed so my Grandfather can eat it…He’s gluton intolerant.
@Matteous – I think you could probably find a gluten-free pancake mix at a health-food store. I think that would address the gluten issue in this diet.
