Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the coconut milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes tender. Then fold in the shredded coconut evenly through the batter.
  4. Heat Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, approximately 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip Pancakes: Carefully flip each pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown on the other side.
  7. Repeat: Continue with the remaining batter, adjusting heat as necessary to prevent burning.
  8. Serve: Serve the pancakes warm, optionally topped with additional coconut cream or syrup for extra sweetness and moisture.

Notes

  • For vegan variation, substitute the egg with a flax egg and use coconut oil instead of butter.
  • Use full-fat coconut milk for creamier, richer pancakes.
  • Adjust the sugar quantity based on your sweetness preference or substitute with a natural sweetener.
  • Shredded coconut can be toasted lightly for added flavor before folding into batter.
  • These pancakes freeze well; reheat gently in a skillet or toaster.
