    Tropical Pancakes with Coconut Syrup

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
    Currently, as my husband spends most days and nights away from me and my little guy studying at the school, I'm dreaming of a Hawaiian vacation sans little guy in about two years. I'm dreaming of the white (and black!) beaches, the warm, shimmering aqua water, romantic rendezvous under waterfalls, and of course what everyone goes to Hawaii for, the food.

    Am I right or am I right? I have yet to go, but hear amazing things.

    As the new school year has started and summer starts to drift away (well, except here in California), I thought I'd try to bring a little Hawaiian magic to our dinner table. We had this for dinner last night and I couldn't get enough so I had the leftovers for breakfast this morning too.

    All I'm gonna say is that Hawaii better make a better stack of tropical pancakes than I just did, because mine were pretty impossible to beat. Trader Joe's currently has this toasted pancake mix and I about died when I came across it.

    Or you can try these. The main recipe you'll find here is the Coconut Syrup. I'd seen a lot of different recipes floating around and decided on my own. It seriously MADE the meal. Amazing. I'd eat spoonfuls of this stuff. I'm saving it and pouring it on everything from now on. Chicken, oatmeal, tacos, pizza, I don't care.

    First, you want to make the syrup. Without it, you are nothing.

    And it needs time to chill out before serving.
