Banana Coconut Pecan Pancakes

Banana Coconut Pecan Pancakes
My kids love banana pancakes so I decided to throw some coconut and pecans in this time for an extra special breakfast. My daughter and husband really loved them but my son thought they were only okay. I tried a bite and thought they were fantastic! The coconut and pecans added a nice texture and they tasted really good with maple syrup.
