Coconut and Chocolate Bread.

Last time we went to Hawaii I was determined to go to Bills in Waikiki, unfortunately I got bronchitis and was sick and coughing for most of our time there.  Even a short walk to Bills was too exhausting.  Oh well, I will just have to go back! 

Oh Yum!  this is Bills recipe, with a little tweaking from me.  All the family wanted it warm, and it is a little crumbly then, but after it has cooled down and for a few days later, its slices perfectly and can be toasted and eaten with butter.  What an afternoon treat it is!  And so simple, just put everything into a mixer and mix.

One change you could make with this is to top it with some grated coconut, it should look good and taste good too.

 

For Muffins:

Use the same mixture, but add 1 cup of coconut, and some chopped pecans or choc chips if you have any.  Put into muffin cases and bake at the same temp as for the bread.

Lime and Coconut Pancakes

Put the lime in the coconut!

OH MY GOD! I made the most amazing pancakes ever. I was watching a Gordon Ramsey cooking show and he made pancakes with coconut, coconut milk, and then made a lime syrup. Serve with mango for an even bigger summer hit, or just squeeze some lime over the pancakes.

Fantastic. Just out of this world. I think pancakes will forever be made with coconut in our house.
For a fun song : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LxC3M-Yngs  Of course, would have tasted even better if I could have brought back some of that fantastic coconut syrup from Hawaii!
Aloha!

Rating: Easy 

First, make a syrup out of sugar, water, plus the  juice and rind of one lime. 

Taste to ensure you love it.

Serve this to pour over your pancakes

Simply make your usual pancake mixture  (I use the mixture from pancakes on the rocks) and add some coconut to the mixture. 

Make the pancakes on a griddle as you normally would.

Serve with the syrup.
