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.
Sweet breakfast with fresh banana, coconut and chocolate. Delightful stack of fresh pancakes to start your weekend!
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. Â 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?

Thanks for pinning. You’re so sweet! Glad you stopped by. 🙂
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! 🙂
Hope they do! Especially for getting up and making breakfast. I always hate starting the day by making dirty dishes but they gotta eat,right? 🙂
Have a great day Marcie!

Ohmigerd, Melanie! I’m allergic to coconut, but I’m ready to pull out the Epi-pen for a plate of these pancakes! 😉
Oh wow! We are big pancake lovers in this house. These look fantastic!
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!
Love this recipe! The pictures are totally drool-worthy, I’d take a batch right now. Pinning this one!
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!
These would be welcomed with open arms in my house!! Love the combination of three of my favorite ingredients!!
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. 🙂
Melanie – these look amazing – love your addition of coconut to these banana/chocolate pancakes – they are so light and so luscious!
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.
yummy breakfast!
Can I hire you to make me some pancakes. I am really terrible at it. 🙂 These sound like there would be a party in my mouth. Yum
Absolutely!
Yum.. This is like having desert for breakfast and not having to feel guilty about it! Great for a Saturday morning!
Yes, great way to put it. Zero guilt. 🙂
Wow, these pancakes look incredible Melanie! I am a big fan of coconut and love that you combined it with bananas and chocolate. Totally wish I had a stack of these!
this stack of pancakes looks delightful Mel, I bet the kids were flipping for them! (btw, your fam is the cutest, love following them on insta!)
have a wonderful weekend 🙂
Banana, coconut, and chocolate chips? I want this for Sunday morning brunch! Pinned!
Thanks for stopping by Bill. Sounds like the perfect Sunday brunch to me!
Yum! I’m a big pancake fanatic, and I think these are excellent flavours!
I totally agree Laura!
Can you store the batter in the refrigerator over night to be used in the morning?
I haven’t tried this Lorell. But you can give it a try. Let us know how it goes!
