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
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined, ensuring your leavening agents are well-distributed.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, blend the coconut cream, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Combine Wet & Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes tender. If using, fold in the shredded coconut carefully.
- Prepare Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip and Finish: Flip each pancake gently and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through, about 1-2 more minutes.
- Serve Warm: Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed. Serve pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or additional coconut.
Notes
- For a richer flavor and creamier texture, use full-fat coconut cream.
- These pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently before serving.
- Top with fresh fruit like berries or banana slices, or drizzle with pure maple syrup to enhance natural sweetness.
