Macadamia Nut Banana Pancakes

Pancakes are a classic breakfast that everyone loves right?! They tend to get a little boring though, so it’s great to mix things up a little bit. These Macadamia Nut Banana Pancakes are AMAZING though. It’ll bring something new to your breakfast.

Make sure to add my coconut syrup and they are to die for!!

Last month I visited one of the most beautiful places in all of the U.S…..Maui, HI. It was lush and green with towering cliffs and turquoise water. I had no idea what a “foodie paradise” Maui was. From super fancy restaurants, to hole in the wall breakfasts joints, there is something for everyone. Before I left for my trip, I made sure to ask for recommendations on where to eat. Just about every single person I talked to all said to go to the Gazebo Restaurant. I had heard about these pancakes even before I stepped foot onto the island.

After about an hour of waiting in the rain  (yes there is no ‘wait list’ you literally just stand in  line) I was able to order my own stack of this infamous banana pancakes. (*Spoiler Alert*) They were amazing. Well, beyond amazing, really. I knew the minute I tasted these bad boys I need to copycat them…Veggie Lisa Style!

What made the pancakes so delicious was the coconut syrup.  This would be a great post workout meal served with your favorite protein. ENJOY!!!
