White Chocolate Chips Love Macadamia Nuts
We’re not sure who first thought to combine white chocolate with macadamia nuts, but we’re thankful they did. The rich, buttery flavor of macadamia nuts is beautifully complemented by the velvety taste of white chocolate.
White chocolate usually has hints of vanilla flavor, and this subtle floral quality is another reason it pairs so well with the creaminess of macadamia nuts. If you love this combination as much as we do, be sure to also try out our white chocolate macadamia cookie recipe.
Vegan and Gluten-Free Substitutions for This Pancake Recipe
Luckily, there are many vegan and gluten-free options for making this white chocolate macadamia nut pancake recipe. For example, for even creamier and more flavorful pancakes, you can use macadamia nut milk in place of dairy milk and coconut oil in place of vegetable oil.
For gluten-free pancakes, simply substitute in your favorite gluten-free flour. One great option that adds more fiber to the meal is to use buckwheat flour and mashed banana in the recipe. This combines with the protein offered by macadamia nuts to produce more filling pancakes.
Our Syrup Recommendations for This Pancake Recipe
A delicious macadamia nut pancake recipe calls for an equally tasty syrup. These pancakes are already sweet and rich due to the white chocolate and macadamia nuts, so we recommend pairing them with a syrup that is not too overwhelming.
Coconut syrup goes amazingly well with macadamia nut pancakes. Try this plant-based coconut date syrup recipe to give your tastebuds an elevated tropical experience. The slight tartness from the lemon helps cut through some of the richness of the pancakes. If you can’t be in Hawaii, this combination may be the next best thing!
