Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup coconut cream
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the coconut cream, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Some lumps are fine.
- If using, fold in the shredded coconut.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2–3 minutes.
- Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
- Serve warm with maple syrup, fruit, or additional shredded coconut.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freeze pancakes with parchment paper between layers for longer storage.
Reheat in the toaster or microwave to retain fluffiness.
Use a flax egg and plant-based butter for a vegan version.
Try adding mini chocolate chips, crushed pineapple, or spices like cinnamon for variations.
Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven while making the rest.
