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

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure they are evenly combined and aerated.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the coconut cream, large egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  3. Bring Batter Together: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients bowl. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, then fold in the shredded coconut if using.
  4. Prepare Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, signaling that the bottom is golden and ready to flip.
  6. Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook the other side until golden brown, approximately 1-2 minutes more.
  7. Repeat: Continue cooking with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches to maintain non-stick surfaces.
  8. Serve Warm: Plate the pancakes and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruits, or additional shredded coconut.

Notes

  • Use coconut cream for a rich and creamy texture, not coconut milk.
  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure pancakes remain light and fluffy.
  • You can substitute melted butter with coconut oil for a more pronounced coconut flavor.
  • If shredded coconut is unavailable, you can omit it or add toasted nuts for texture.
  • Adjust cooking heat as needed to prevent burning before pancakes are cooked through.
