I’m always so inspired by the sensational Breakfast Ideas shared each week, especially the creative pancake recipes. So, at the back of my mind I’ve been playing with different pancake ideas, and when I came across Coconut Pancakes while flicking through “5 Of The Best” by Valli Little, I knew I had to give it a try, since we LOVE coconut in our family. I adapted the recipe to make it a little lighter and changed the ratios around a little and the results were amazing! These pancakes are a yummy breakfast for the whole family, rich in coconut goodness.
I served the Coconut Pancakes with Caramelized Pineapple in a heart shaped Muffin Tin Meal to Mr 3 and, for being my picky eater, he loved, loved, loved them! He often turns his nose up at pancakes, so it must have been the sweetness and flavor from the coconut which won him over.
Coconut Pancakes with Caramelized Pineapple
Caramelized Pineapple:
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 small pineapple, cut into pieces
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1. Melt the butter in a small frying pan over medium heat.
2. Meanwhile, toss the pineapple in the sugar in a small bowl.
3. Once the butter has melted, add the sugared pineapple to the pan and cook, turning frequently, until browned on all sides.
4. Remove from the pan and set aside until pancakes are cooked.

4. In a further bowl, beat the egg whites until thick and then fold them through the pancake batter.
