The following experiment occurred when I found a bunch of things in the back of the fridge and another bunch of things at the back of the cabinet, plus a banana starting to go brown. So the following recipe requires much adjustment. The coconut in the pancake gave a very odd texture - gritty, chewy, dry. Maybe it had an odd texture because the coconut was sitting at the back of the cabinet for way too long. Perhaps fresh coconut might be better. Alternately, omit the coconut.
Also, I wanted to use up the semi-sweet chocolate chips. This resulted in a too-sweet pancake. Next time use much much less chocolate chips.
The blueberry sauce on its own was tasty. Unfortunately, mixed with the chocolate chips and the banana in the pancake, it all became way too sweet. Maybe blueberry sauce on plain pancakes would work better.
Here is the raw, first draft version of the recipe (version 1.0):
Pancake:
1 banana
3/4 cup water
1 cup Aunt Jemima Pancake Mix
3/4 cup chocolate chips, semi-sweet (adjust down to 1/3 cup for next experiment)
3/4 cup dried, unsweetened coconut (omit, or adjust to 1/3 cup, or use fresh for next experiment)
Mash banana. Mix all ingredients together. Fry up pancakes. Try not to use too much butter in the pan.
Blueberry Sauce: (may wish to omit in favour of using maple syrup)
1 cup water
1 cup blueberries (used frozen)
2 Tbsp sugar (too sweet? omit for next experiment)
Mix ingredients together in a small saucepan. Boil and reduce to the desired consistency.
Repeating for added emphasis: this iteration of the experiment was way too sweet and resulted in reduced amounts eaten in one sitting. It was also very heavy in the stomach. Not certain if or when I will repeat this experiment.
