Banana Coconut Chocolate Chip Pancakes – light and fluffy pancakes with fresh banana flavor and bursting with bites of coconut. A breakfast that gives a delicious start to the day.
This is pretty much a combination of my favorite 3 breakfast flavors all put together in some delicious pancakes. Seriously, I just adore chocolate and banana everything these days. YUM!
Add coconut to the mix and it’s a match made in heaven for sure. I’ll share a little secret. I’ve never been a pancake fan. Always thought they were boring. Not worth the calories. One of the driest foods I’ve ever eaten, etc.
Add this great little ingredient called banana and all the sudden I love them. That was quite a few months ago. Then I thought, “Why not add some coconut?” Coconut is one of my greatest loves of all time. Especially in the dessert and breakfast worlds. Love the flavor. It’s just phenomenal.
So, now I have another great breakfast to enjoy and I thought maybe you’d enjoy it too. So here it is in all of it’s wonder and delight.
These babies turned this pancake frowner into a pancake smiler.
I’d love to know! Are you a pancake lover or not?

Wow, these pancakes look so delicious, and I love this combination of flavors! It’s been far too long since I made pancakes, and these are giving me the push I need. My kids will have you to thank for it! 🙂

I just love coconut! I can’t get enough of it lately. I buy big bags of tasted coconut at Whole Foods, and it’s my favorite late night snack. What a great idea to put some coconut in pancakes! I must try this right away!
Danielle says
Love this recipe! The pictures are totally drool-worthy, I’d take a batch right now. Pinning this one!
Allie | Baking a Moment says
I am most definitely a pancake lover and always have been. Maybe not dry pancakes, but if they’re done right I’m all over them. These are definitely done right 😉 Pinning!
Joanne says
These would be welcomed with open arms in my house!! Love the combination of three of my favorite ingredients!!
Sarah@WholeandHeavenlyOven says
Totally digging these pancakes, Melanie! All the flavor combos you used sound amazing! These look about 1000x better than the plain old bowl of oatmeal I had for breakfast this morning! I’ll take a large stack, please. 🙂
Shashi @ RunninSrilankan(dot)com says
Melanie – these look amazing – love your addition of coconut to these banana/chocolate pancakes – they are so light and so luscious!
Helen @ Scrummy Lane says
Banana pancakes are amazing! I know what you mean about pancakes being a bit dry, but I do like them drenched in the traditional maple syrup. Over in Europe we’re more likely to eat crepes than your thicker-style pancakes. Maybe you would prefer those. They’re lovely with just lemon and sugar or loads of nutella.

Can you store the batter in the refrigerator over night to be used in the morning?
Melanie says
I haven’t tried this Lorell. But you can give it a try. Let us know how it goes!
