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 until evenly combined.
  2. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the coconut cream, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract thoroughly until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep pancakes tender. If desired, fold in the shredded coconut carefully.
  4. Heat Skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip and Finish: Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 2 minutes or until the other side is golden brown.
  7. Repeat: Continue cooking with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed to maintain non-stick surface.
  8. Serve: Serve the pancakes warm topped with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruits, or extra shredded coconut for added flavor.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute melted butter with coconut oil or a vegan butter alternative.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to avoid tough pancakes; lumps are fine.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less sugar according to your taste preference.
  • Shredded coconut adds texture and extra coconut flavor but can be omitted or replaced with chopped nuts if desired.
  • These pancakes freeze well; reheat gently in a toaster or microwave for a quick breakfast.
