Method
How to Make Fluffy Coconut Cream Pancakes
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, shredded coconut, and sugar (if using).
- In another bowl, mix the coconut milk, egg, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. A few lumps are normal; avoid overmixing.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with coconut oil or cooking spray.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2–3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Stack the pancakes on plates and top with extra shredded coconut, fresh fruit, and maple syrup. Serve warm.
