Mango and Banana Pancakes

[heart_this] · May 19, 2008 · 45 Comments

Mango Pancakes

They had some really nice looking mangos at the grocery store this weekend and I could not resist picking up a bunch of them. I remembered seeing a recipe for mango pancakes at more than burnt toast that sounded good. The recipe called for coconut milk and an overripe banana for some extra layers of flavour. I had also been wanting to try experimenting with cardamom and I liked the idea of using some in the pancakes. The pancakes were pretty good! They were nice and moist and light and full of flavour. I could easily have eaten them by themselves but I added some extras. I topped the mango pancakes with some pieces of mango, sliced banana, chopped macadamia nuts and some pureed mango. Of course I had to work maple syrup into the dish somehow so I added some to the mango puree.

    Only thing you could do to improve that is add a dollop of whipped cream on the top:)))

    Mango is something I have been enjoying quite often lately. I made waffles for breakfast this morning and I’m thinking you may have given me an idea for next weekend.

    These pancakes were excellent weren’t they Kevin? The best thing is no sugar required…all the sweetness comes tfrom the fruit itself.
