COCONUT BANANA PANCAKES

Easy and yummy! Banana pancakes from scratch, with the perfect coconut syrup. My family absolutely loves them! I usually have to triple the recipe! It took me forever to find a good banana pancake recipe I like. It took me even longer to find coconut syrup I liked. This syrup is great because it doesn't have any of the coconut shavings in it. So kids will like it!

BAKED PLANTAINS (COOKING BANANAS)

From the Caribbean...a deliciously sweet way to fix plaintains, also known as cooking bananas. Plaintains are sweet and soft when their skins are almost black! But in this recipe, with the sugary syrup, you can use fruit not quite at this point! YUM!
