Pancakes with banana and jaggery filling

 

I have never made pancakes at home before this; and the only combinations I have had is maple syrup and banana. This recipe uses bananas and jaggery, and ever-so-delightful combination for the filling and that's topped with freshly grated coconut. They work together like a dream.  This only takes minimal time to put together.

I did the find the pancakes a bit eggy (DUH!...2 eggs! ring a bell somewhere..I know, I know). But, if you're like me and don't like the 'eggy' taste, try adding  a few drops of vanilla essence/extract, as you like. It did ease out the taste quite a bit; or if you have any better suggestions, do let me know.

It's great for nice sunday brekkie for kids and adults alike, or a great snack for children. It did get wiped out at home.
