Makes 12 pancakes 1x
In a medium bowl, combine the mashed bananas, coconut milk, melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, coconut, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Add the banana mixture to the flour mixture and stir with a silicone spatula until combined.
Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C).
Heat a large nonstick griddle or skillet over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes. Add about 2 tablespoons oil to the pan. Scoop ¼ cup (60 ml) of batter into the pan. Repeat, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Once the pancakes begin to form bubbles on the surface and the edges have started to brown lightly, about 4 minutes, flip and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer the pancakes to a sheet pan and place in the warmed oven until ready to serve. Repeat the process until you’ve used all the batter.
Serve warm with pancake syrup and sliced bananas.
