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. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the coconut cream, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes tender. If desired, fold in the shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
  4. Preheat Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease the surface to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip and Finish Cooking: Flip the pancake carefully and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more.
  7. Repeat: Continue this process with the remaining batter, adjusting heat as necessary to avoid burning.

Notes

  • For fluffier pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter.
  • You can substitute coconut cream with full-fat coconut milk, but the texture may differ slightly.
  • Serve with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
  • If you prefer a nut-free option, omit the shredded coconut.
  • Ensure your skillet is not too hot to prevent burning before the center cooks through.
