On a recent visit to Whole Foods, I came across So Delicious’ Nog Coconut Milk. I purchased this beverage based on Tina’s recommendation from Carrots n Cake. 
Coming from someone who isn’t a big fan of traditional eggnog, So Delicious’ version is completely vegan, hence there is no egg in it. It is creamy, delicious, and has a bold flavor of nutmeg. I figured since I won’t be drinking an entire quart of “nog” all by myself, I might as well put it to good use and make pancakes, Nog Banana Pancakes to be exact.
And since I was out of whole wheat pastry flour, can you believe it, I used all purpose white flour for a change. The result – perfectly golden brown fluffy pancakes. 
Hope you enjoy these pancakes this Christmas! 
NUTRITION: Although coconut milk contains saturated fats, not all saturated fats pose as a health problem, especially those linked with coconut milk. This version of “nog” contains no cholesterol. Bananas are a very good source of Vitamin B6. They are also a good source of Vitamin C and Fiber.
* for a healthier alternative, use whole wheat pastry flour instead of all purpose white flour… I just didn’t have any on hand.
INGREDIENTS (makes 5 to 6 pancakes ~ 3 servings):
* Banana Coconut Smoothie this stuff is so good, you can drink this as a smoothie.
- So Delicious Nog Coconut Milk – 2 cups
- Banana – 2
- Ground Cinnamon – 1/2 tsp
Pancake Batter
- All Purpose White Flour – 1 1/4 cup (for a healthier alternative, use whole wheat pastry flour)
- Baking Powder – 2 tsp
- Ground Cinnamon – 1/2 tsp
- Salt – 1/4 tsp
- * Banana Coconut Smoothie – 2 cups
- Egg – 1
- Pure Vanilla – 1 tsp
- Banana – 1 (small diced)
- Unsalted Butter – tad for glazing; 1 tsp when serving
DIRECTIONS:
1. Using a magic bullet or blender, blend the ingredients of the Banana Coconut Smoothie. Set aside.
2. Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl… flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
3. Add the egg and vanilla along with 2 cups of the banana coconut smoothie – if you have leftovers, it’s a great smoothie. Mix well.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet. Mix until well combined. DO NOT OVERMIX.
5. Dice a banana. Add the banana to the batter. Combine.
6. Heat a nonstick pan on medium heat, once hot, add a tad of butter. 
7. Using a 1/4 cup measurement, drop a 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup of pancake batter mixture onto the heated pan. Cook for a couple minutes until golden brown on one side.
8. Flip.
9. Top with a little more butter and serve immediately. These pancakes are extremely filling since they incorporate a lot of bananas and coconut milk. Enjoy!

Palak Paneer is a classic North Indian dish and flavored with simple spices. IMO… the key ingredients are using lots of garlic, green chilies (remove seeds if needed), and adding a dollop of butter at the end.

yum! Looks delicious! You gave me an idea for Christmas morning!
xo, Elisa
Pancakes look delicious dear,
Happy to follow u,wud be glad if u can follow back:)
Have a wonderful week ahead !
I'm the only one in my house that likes the flavor of nog – guess the whole batch is mine! 🙂
I am not a fan of egg nog…maybe I should try this version? I love pancakes in any case!
@Elisa – glad you think so… will be great for Christmas morning. 🙂
@Kausers – thank you. I'll check out your site.
@Heather – yes, you and I both. No one else likes nog!
@Ameena – I'm not a huge fan of eggnog either, but you may like this, it's vegan (coconut milk), so none of that eggy taste. Good stuff. 🙂
I've only ever tried eggnog in the form of Eggnog Lattes at Starbucks! I can't decide whether i am a fan…not sureif I like the eggy flavor in liquid form. As for eggy pancakes, that is definitely something I can get on board with :)!
These look great! I am loving all of the nog recipes out there and I like that this one is a great breakfast recipe.
Your post reminds me that I haven't cooked pancakes in a while. Going to have to try that Nog Coconut Milk. Wishing I had some of those delicious looking pancakes right now!
Wow, I have never seen that drink before. Is it healthy? 🙂 The pancakes look superb. I am going to make a batch of the your pumpkin ones again for Christmas. I am actually going to triple the batch and freeze some so that I can just have them right away on Christmas day!! Hope to do a post on them. Will let you know.
@Khushboo – I think you'll really like them. The nog itself is vegan, but I added an egg.
@Natalie – Thanks.. glad you like it.
@Christin – Get the Nog Coconut Milk before the holiday season is up. 🙂 Sure you'd like them.
@eatgood4life – The drink has 3 grams of fat per half cup and 3g of saturated fat.. so not the healthiest, but not terrible I guess. Oh, I'm so glad you like the Pumpkin Pancakes, yes, let me know when you do a post. 🙂
I'm not really a fan of eggnog but I like it in baked goods! So something like this is just perfect. Now if we actually had eggnog here and didn't have to make it homemade. 😉
@Erin – I'm not a huge fan of Eggnog either, but these pancakes were pretty awesome. Think you'd like them. 🙂
