I fell in love with the sweet potato pancakes at Cracker Barrel. I decided to come up with my own healthier version. This sweet potato banana pancake recipe is what I put together, and it is a hit every single time I make it! Not only are the pancakes delicious, but they are also very good for you. Win-win! These pancakes are loaded with nutrition and taste delicious with pretty much any topping, so add the topping of your choice. I like honey, agave, or the maple agave syrup from Trader Joe's. Enjoy!

Coconut Milk Syrup
We spent a summer on Oahu and ate our way around the island. One of the things we sorely miss is coconut syrup. This easy recipe is a close substitute until we can make it back to Hawaii for the real stuff. Mahalo.
