Fruity Banana Coconut Pancakes

Pillowy soft Fruity Banana Coconut Pancakes for a wonderful Spring weekend breakfast or brunch. The sweetness of the season captured in gluten-free, vegan, fruit-filled pancakes will make your body, mind, and taste buds happy and filled with joy!

Fruity Banana Coconut Pancakes | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 #pancakes #breakfast #glutenfree #vegan

I decided we should have some pancakes this week. I have a bunch of very old pancake recipes that never got shared and I found this gem while I was looking through them all. I remember making these the first time. They were so heavenly and perfectly sweet! I fell in love, but when do I NOT fall in love with pancakes? These pancakes are especially good right now as well all hold dear wishes for a wonderful happy Spring season. Mother Earth begins to produce the most luscious fruit and nature's sweetness is abound. I even treated myself to a container of fresh beautiful strawberries at the grocery last weekend. They were so lovely (and on sale!).

Fruit is really the only sweetness I need in my life. I always MUST have some sort of fruit in the morning with breakfast. An apples, pear (I have been obsessed with Bosc Pears lately), an orange, usually something whole. But now that berry season is coming, I'll gladly wash off some ripe sweet strawberries! Apples are always in season for me (even if they aren't), they really are one of my top 3 favorite foods. An apple a day, right?

I'm pretty sure there's no fruit that I won't eat. I really can't think of one. They're all just so perfectly crafted by the fruit gods. And the colors of fruit! O, just like spices! So vibrant, there is no way you can't be enticed by them!

I wish I had a garden. I would grow every type of vegetable and fruit possible. Thing is, I have no idea how and the soil and ground where I live is dreadful (I'm talking my home back in NJ). So that would me some major building plant beds and what-not. Things I don't know how to do. Gardening also seems like it takes a lot of time. But I guess it would be 100% worth it. Free food (produce is so expensive!), non-gmo, and delicious.

Every time you cook, you must get a great sense of satisfaction and be filled with pride, knowing that you grew the food you are preparing and nourishing your body with. O what a lovely thought, ground to plate....to mouth πŸ˜‰ One day, when I have my own home somewhere, I am promising myself I will start a garden. Bucket list item for sure!

Fruity Banana Coconut Pancakes

Fruity Banana Coconut Pancakes | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 #pancakes #breakfast #glutenfree #vegan

Ingredients: (serves 1)

+ β…“ Cup Flour Mix ( 2 TB Banana Flour+ 1 TB Coconut Flour+ 2 TB Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour)

+ Β½ Tsp Baking Powder

+ ΒΌ Tsp Banana Extract

+ ΒΌ Cup Apple Banana Puree (I used a baby food jar that mixed both)

+ 3 Drops of Vanilla Stevia(optional)

+ β…“ Cup + 3 TB Unsweetened Coconut Milk

Vanilla Topping:

+ 1 TB Shredded Unsweetened Coconut(divided into Β½ TB and Β½ TB)

+ 1 TB Vanilla Protein Powder(I used Plant Fusion)

+ 2 TB Water

Directions:

+ In a mixing bowl, combine the flour mixture and baking powder and give it a stir. Then add the extract, fruit puree, stevia, and coconut milk/water. Stir until you get a nice lump-free pancake batter.

+ Grease a non-stick pan with some coconut oil and place the pan over medium heat on the stove. Once hot, add β…“ of the batter to the pan, cook for 3-4 minutes (or until the edges "dry" and little bubbles form). Flip, and cook an additional 2-3 minutes. Repeat the process with the rest of the batter.

+ To make the topping, in a small bowl combine Β½ TB of the shredded coconut and all the protein powder. Then slowly add and stir in the water. You may need more of less, but you are aiming for a thick frosting.

+ To serve, spread a bit of frosting on each pancakes as you stack, leaving most of it for the top of the whole stack. Then sprinkle the last Β½ TB of shredded coconut on top of it all. Now you're beautiful fruity pancakes are ready to be devoured!

So I guess this breakfast is an all-in-one! Fruit in your main breakfast component! Eh, but I'd probably have more fruit too. Maybe top with banana slices? Sounds like a plan!

Fruity Banana Coconut Pancakes | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 #pancakes #breakfast #glutenfree #vegan

I am dying for a stack of cakes right now! Just a few more weeks until I can make pancakes in my kitchen at home again! Wooo! I plan on whipping these up for sure. I hope you'll join me in some fruity pancakes eating as well πŸ˜‰ Although, I'm jealous since you can make them sooner than me!

    The banana flour was new to me too but it sounds yummy. I love anything with bananas and they say a banana a day keeps the doctor away (sound familiar :-)). I've made pancakes with just eggs and mashed bananas but these look like they would be a little more substantial. I can't wait to try them! (Hopped over from Wake Up Wednesday Link Party)

    These pancakes look delicious. I've never used banana flour before. It'll be fun to try something new.

      Banana flour is great! A little goes a long way, just like coconut!

    Coconut and vanilla are two of my favorite flavors! (Someone needs to make a nut butter flavor like that). These are so pretty πŸ™‚

    You are amazing with pancakes! I can never flip them properly or they burn or are undercooked. Not enough practice! Love the idea of using an apple banana puree, great flavors πŸ™‚

    I am a huge fruit lover, too. I've been waiting for strawberries to come into season in DC and so have been enjoying the last bits of winter citrus and pears recently. These pancakes look delicious! I am slowly coming around to the taste and texture of coconut and this recipe looks like one I would enjoy. Thanks for sharing!

      Strawberries ARE here in DC!
      You can always go a little less with the shredded coconut if you don't like that texture! You get the flavor from all the other coconut here!

We are replacing the animal protein with kidney beans, potatoes, and hearts of palm.
