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 cream
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined, ensuring your base is set for fluffy pancakes.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the coconut cream, large egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract thoroughly until smooth and well blended, infusing the batter with richness and flavor.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined to keep the batter light and airy. Fold in shredded coconut if using, adding texture and extra coconut flavor.
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, indicating the bottom is set and ready to flip.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Flip the pancake carefully and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through, about 1-2 minutes more.
- Repeat Cooking: Continue with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed to keep pancakes from sticking and maintain a golden crust.
- Serve Warm: Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or extra shredded coconut for a delightful breakfast experience.
Notes
- For extra coconut flavor, lightly toast the shredded coconut before adding it to the batter.
- You can substitute coconut cream with full-fat coconut milk if coconut cream is unavailable, but it may result in thinner batter.
- To keep pancakes warm while cooking the rest, place them on a baking sheet in a low oven (around 200°F).
- Adjust sweetness by varying sugar amount or adding honey or maple syrup as desired.
- Use gluten-free flour blend to make this recipe gluten-free.
