Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup toasted coconut flakes, plus extra for topping
• Maple syrup, for serving

How to Make Coconut Cream Pancakes

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the coconut milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well blended.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Fold in the toasted coconut flakes gently into the batter.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, cooking until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
8. Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup and topped with additional toasted coconut flakes.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your baking powder is fresh for optimal fluffiness.
• For the fluffiest pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter; it’s okay if it’s slightly lumpy.
• Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning while ensuring the pancakes cook through.
• If you prefer a thicker pancake, add a little more flour until you reach your desired consistency.

Easy Variations

• Add chocolate chips or chopped tropical fruits like pineapple or banana to the batter for an extra treat.
• Swap the coconut milk for almond or oat milk for a different flavor profile.
• Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for added indulgence.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
• Crispy bacon or sausage for a savory balance.
• A smoothie for a complete breakfast experience.
• Whipped cream for a creamy topping option.
