Pina Colada Pancakes
My birthday was on Tuesday and I decided I needed to make something fancy for breakfast. I had been toying with this recipe trying to get it right and decided to give it another try. I also wanted something healthier because I knew the rest of the day was going to be blown on cupcakes, cake, and large hamburgers.
Yum.
Who wouldn’t love coconut pancakes with pineapple syrup? Ok, people who don’t like coconut but I am not one of those people.
Remember snow balls? I loved those. I would save the marshmallow coconut part for last so I could savor it.
Maybe I should figure out how to put marshmallow’s with the cupcakes. Ok, I won’t go that far.
