Coconut Macaroon Pancakes
I don't get much natural light in here - all our windows are on one side of the building and it's a side that never faces the sun - but I think I've managed to get good shots overall. I think this lead photo may be my best shot so far.
I was looking for a recipe that would use the remainder of the coconut milk that I had opened for the roasted banana bread, but I wasn't able to find anything that would use ALL of it. So, I adjusted a recipe for Coconut Macaroon Pancakes to use the amount I had left. I used 1/2 cup or 4 ounces of coconut milk for the banana bread, so I had 10 ounces of coconut milk left. I used a ratio to change the amounts in the recipe to be appropriate for the amount of liquid I had. I had to round in some places but tried to stay as close as possible to the original ratios without adding any insanely precise measurements.
Coconut Macaroon Pancakes
10 ounces of coconut milk
1.5 Tbsp agave nectar (or honey)
2 Tbsp plus 2 tsp whole wheat pastry flour (I expect you could use any type of flour)
2 cups unsweetened dried shredded coconut
1/4 tsp fine grain sea salt
1.5 tsp baking powder
2 large eggs whisked in a medium bowl
2 Tbsp plus 2 tsp natural cane sugar or brown sugar (I omitted this the first time around)
Follow the instructions here.
I attempted to do a banana-muscovado variation here which I encourage you to try if you make these. I put a small pat of butter in my pan along with a small spoonful of muscovado sugar. As the butter melted I mixed them together. Then I put banana coins down in the bottom of the pan and spooned the pancake batter over top. This would have been successful if I stuck with a pancake small enough to flip, but I tried to make a bigger one, and now I'm eating caramelized-banana-coconut-macaroon-pancake-crumble.
