Ingredients

Pancakes

  • 2 cups Bisquick Heart Smart® mix
  • 1 1/4 cups canned coconut milk (regular or reduced-fat)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons coconut (or canola) oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 to 4 oz dark chocolate, chopped (I used the whole 4 oz!)

Coconut Honey Syrup

  • 1/3 cup canned coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps

  • 1
    Start by making the pancake batter. Place Bisquick mix in medium bowl; add 1 1/4 cups coconut milk, 3 tablespoons honey, the oil, vanilla and egg. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Stir in mashed bananas. Let batter stand 5 to 10 minutes.

    Meanwhile, make Coconut Honey syrup. Add 1/3 cup coconut milk and 1/3 cup honey to 1-quart saucepan; heat to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer about 10 minutes or until thickened and syrupy. Stir in vanilla. Set aside, and keep warm until ready to use.

    Heat large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Spoon batter into rounds, and cook until bubbles form on top, 2 to 3 minutes. Add chocolate chunks as desired; turn and cook 1 to 2 minutes longer. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve hot with syrup. If syrup gets too thick, place it back on the stove with a tablespoon or so of coconut milk.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    For a sweeter more caramel-like syrup, mix 1/2 cup packed brown sugar with 1/2 cup coconut milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it comes to a boil. Boil 5 to 10 minutes or until it thickens into syrup; it will thicken slightly as it cools, too.
  • tip 2
    The syrup can be made ahead of time and re-warmed on the stove or in the microwave.
  • tip 3
    To freeze the pancakes, place them on waxed paper or cooking parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. Cover, and place in freezer 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, transfer pancakes to resealable freezer bag, and freeze. Thaw in microwave 2 to 3 minutes.
