I’m realizing more and more that pancakes don’t make it onto our breakfast table very often. I’m not sure why though. They’re easy to make, they make a great side to any breakfast plate or can stand proudly on their own and they’re just really delicious. Plus, we seem to always get them if we’re dining out for breakfast or brunch, but we just really don’t make them at home enough.
Recently my dude and I have been consciously making an effort to cook ‘more exciting’ breakfasts/brunches on the weekends, other than scrambled eggs and avocado toast (nothing wrong with that of course, but sometimes you just need to change things up) and we started last weekend with these Brown Sugar, Blueberry and Coconut Pancakes! Ugh, they’re so good. I love the simplicity of pancake recipes, but also how there are endless possibilities and flavor combinations that you can easily muster up!
Also, if you guys haven’t watched the show ‘Stranger Things’ yet (SO FREAKIN’ GOOD), this weekend is the PERFECT time to make a fat stack of these pancakes and binge watch the show! Since my fiance and I have already blazed through the show, we’re going to start binge watching ‘Hell on Wheels’, with a stack of these beauties and some bacon for sure. Enjoy! xx, Jenny

Would this recipe be good to make waffles as is?
I would increase the amount of sugar to 3 tablespoons and increase the amount of melted butter to 3 1/2 tablespoons (this will help to get a more “waffle” texture overall! Good luck! :)
Great recipe! Could you use buttermilk instead of regular milk?
Absolutely!!
Very good graphics, I feel like I’m in front of them.
I love the idea – pancakes for breakfast especially on a lazy morning are perfect choice :D Thanks for sharing :D
Where are the bananas? The title mentions bananas. Sounds like they would be good.
Lol, totally meant blueberry and not banana, it’s been updated!
Do you mean blueberry vs banana?
Yep! The title has been updated! Thanks!
Lovely recipe. I’ll be sure to try this one. However, you may want to updated the title to reflect the blueberries in the recipe. Cheers!
Totally just did :)
