This month we said good-bye to Curtis Stone and Hello to Heidi Swanson. Heidi is a vegetarian chef with several cookbooks with lots of tasty recipes as well as her blog with even more. This will be a fun 6 month!
Besides saying Hello to Heidi I am also saying good morning as the first recipe of hers I used was for …
Coconut Macaroon Pancakes
This is probably the first time I have every made pancakes with so little flour (1/4 cup) and so much coconut (3 cups!) along with 14 oz of coconut milk. They were nicely sweet without having to use sugar {altho’ Heidi does sprinkle a little brown sugar on the top of the pancakes while cooking}.
These came out a little browner than I would have liked. I blame it entirely on they griddle having a bad morning. No matter how much I sprayed the pan they stuck. And browned! Lord KNOWS I would never burn over brown anything! Brown or not they were tasty. I drizzled with a little honey and didn’t, and this is unusual for me, use ANY butter on my pancakes. But then why ruin a good vegan pancake! These were like eating coconut macaroon cookies. Who says you cannot eat cookies for Breakfast??
I found the recipe at Heidi’s blog 101 Cookbooks.

It’s going to be a fun 6 months – especially for someone who is NOT a big veggie fan!

Eating cookies for breakfast, but with lower amount of flour and sugar, sounds like a worthy approach for the most important meal of the day.

You have to be a real fan of coconut flavours to eat this for breakfast. I think those coconut cookies are for me with tea in the afternoon.

Anything that tastes like cookies for breakfast is good with me:) While I do love maple syrup I also enjoy honey on pancakes and I can easily see myself enjoying these! Yum:)

that is a fun breakfast to enjoy! With that amount of coconut, it must be really fragrant!

Wow. I never would have thought to make pancakes like these. They look delicious and with one or two substitutions would be a great meal over Passover.
