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 well combined and aerated.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, blend the coconut cream, large egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing; if using shredded coconut, fold it in carefully now.
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup portions of batter onto the heated skillet. Cook until bubbles form and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden brown on both sides.
- Repeat: Continue cooking the remaining batter in the same manner, greasing the skillet between batches as needed.
- Serve: Serve pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or extra shredded coconut.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, substitute melted butter with coconut oil.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy and tender.
- If thick, you can thin the batter with a tablespoon of coconut milk for desired consistency.
- Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat before serving.
- Add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
