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
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the coconut cream, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract thoroughly until the mixture is smooth.
- 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.
- Heat Skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- 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.
- Flip and Finish: Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 2 minutes or until the other side is golden brown.
- Repeat: Continue cooking with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed to maintain non-stick surface.
- 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.
