It feels like it’s been forever since I’ve made pancakes for breakfast! Today seemed like a good day for it…since it’s leg day and all.  Plus I went on a beautiful hike yesterday in the Marin Headlands with some friends, and all that sunshine has me feeling like pancakes are just the right thing to do 🙂  So I’ve had this big bag of coconut flakes in my freezer for a couple of months now as a result of a Whole Foods impulse buy…I just didn’t really have any plans for them.  Until today!  Blueberries and coconut = delicious combo.

You may have noticed that my pancakes are looking a little orange…well, that’s because someone (ehem…me!) forgot to buy applesauce at the grocery store.  And when you don’t have applesauce to put in your pancakes, what do you do?  Substitute it with pumpkin, of course! You can’t taste the pumpkin in the pancakes though, just the delicious, delicate coconut flavor.  Normally I’m not a huge coconut fan, but this isn’t an overpowering amount like you’d get in an Almond Joy or something (which I think are gross, btw).

Anyways, I think the pumpkin actually came through for the win here…the pancakes are moist, but still delicate and fluffy.

Isn’t it pretty??  I used the Let’s Do Organic unsweetened coconut flakes.  It’s actually really hard to find unsweetened coconut flakes in a regular grocery store..the majority of them have tons of added sugar.  Even the frozen stuff!  So check these out at Whole Foods, they’re great.

Time for a pancake photo montage…because I feel like it 🙂

 Pancakes…

 Pancakes…

 Ohhhh pancakes with exploded blueberry sauce!  If you want to get this delicious blueberry sauce, just take the 1/4 cup that you were going to top the pancakes with and stick them in a microwave safe dish.  Heat ’em up for 20-30 seconds and voila! Sweet sweet blueberry sauce.

Okay, okay, last one.
