SILVER DOLLAR TROPICAL PANCAKES WITH MASCARPONE WHIPPED CREAM

• Whisk together the flour, granulated and brown sugars, the baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, butter and vanilla in a small bowl. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and gently mix to combine. Do not overmix. Let sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes before using.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Heat a cast-iron or nonstick griddle pan over medium heat and brush with melted butter. Once the butter begins to sizzle, use 2 tablespoons of the batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the bottom is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip over and cook until the bottom is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes longer. If desired, keep warm on a baking sheet in the oven.
• Serve a stack of 6 pancakes per person, topped with some of the Pineapple-Mango Syrup and Mascarpone Whipped Cream. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs, if desired.

• Remove the pan from the heat and, using an immersion blender, blend until almost smooth. Add the honey and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.
• Strain the mixture into a bowl and add the finely diced mango and pineapple, the orange zest and lemon juice to taste. Keep warm while making the pancakes.
• Combine the mascarpone, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and 1/2 cup cream in a medium bowl and whip until soft peaks form; add a bit more heavy cream if not creamy enough. Put in a pastry bag with medium tip.

Working quickly and using back of spoon, spread each pancake to about 4-inch round. Cook until small bubbles appear on surface and bottoms of pancakes are golden, reducing heat if browning too quickly, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn over; cook until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to baking sheet. Keep warm in oven.

TROPICAL BANANA PANCAKES TURNED INTO OVEN BAKE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Add coconut oil to pan, and melt it in the oven. Lightly sprinkle oiled pan with salt.
• 2. In a blender*, mix the over-ripe bananas, eggs and 1/4 tsp. salt, until frothy. Pour some into the bottom of pan. Sprinkle heavily with cinnamon. Pour remaining batter into pan. Should give cinnamon a nice swirly pattern. *(The eggs & bananas tend to separate if not puréed in a blender, which leads to an unpleasant scrambled egg texture & taste.)
• 3. Bake until nicely browned across the top & no longer jiggles when pan is moved, about an hour to an hour and 15 minutes.
• 4. Lightly sprinkle the top of the banana pancake tray with salt. Serve with layer of SCD yogurt topped with pineapple. Refrigerate leftovers. This is even better as reheated leftovers. It looses some of the initial eggy smell. But with the toppings, the eggy smell is usually not very noticeable, even when served the first day.

Whole grains supply fiber and B vitamins and may help to reduce the risk of heart disease and certain types of cancer."Serving these pancakes with honey or real maple syrup, whipped cream (I try to add calories whenever I can) and a few slices of banana makes me feel like I am having a real treat. I freeze the pancakes in individual plastic bags (two per bag) and reheat them in the toaster oven. Then I have an instant, low-odor breakfast." -Anne R.NUTRITION FACTS: High in calcium, iron and folic acid1 Serving: Calories 230 (Calories from Fat 70) Fat 8g (Saturated 2g) Cholesterol 45mg Sodium 570mg Potassium 240mg Carbohydrate 36g (Dietary Fiber 2g) Protein 7g % DAILY VALUE: Vitamin A 8% Vitamin C 14% Calcium 18% Iron 34% Folic Acid 36% Magnesium 6% DIET EXCHANGES: 2 Starch, 1 ½ FatHelpful For These Side Effects: (n), (d)From "Betty Crocker's Living with Cancer Cookbook."
