I had leftover toasted coconut and toasted pecans, so I used those in our pancakes. You can use whatever filling you like. Obviously, if your child doesn’t like coconut, don’t put it in their pancakes.

 Usually, our kids had to eat whatever I made, but these pancakes were easy to adapt.  It’s easy to meet each child’s individual tastes in this meal.
