Peter Paul Pancakes
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1 recipe 4-Grain Pancake Batter
1 cup (6 ounce) chocolate chips or pieces
1 tablespoon melted butter
Maple syrup

Toast 1/2 cup coconut by spreading it on a cookie sheet and baking it at 350 degrees F until golden brown. Shake coconut or move it around with tongs so it toasts evenly.

Preheat griddle or skillet over medium or medium-high heat. Divide untoasted coconut and chocolate into 10 portions. Coat griddle with melted butter. Pour in the first pancake and immediately distribute one portion of chocolate and coconut evenly over the surface. Proceed to next pancake. Cook pancakes 3 minutes, then flip and cook 2 minutes on second side. Do not pat pancakes with the spatula or turn them more than once.

Serve with the toasted coconut and maple syrup.

Makes 10 pancakes.
