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. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly incorporated and free of lumps.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut cream, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract thoroughly to create a smooth and homogeneous mixture.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir just until combined. If you are using shredded coconut, fold it into the batter delicately to maintain fluffiness.
  4. Preheat Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot 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: Carefully flip each pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the underside is golden brown and the pancakes are fully cooked through.
  7. Repeat and Serve: Continue with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed. Serve the pancakes warm with your preferred toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or extra shredded coconut.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine and help keep the pancakes tender.
  • Use full-fat coconut cream for the best flavor and texture.
  • You can substitute melted coconut oil for butter to keep the recipe dairy-free.
  • To keep pancakes warm while cooking the rest, place them on a baking sheet in a low oven (about 200°F/90°C).
  • For extra coconut flavor, toast the shredded coconut lightly before folding it into the batter or as a topping.
