Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut milk (or regular milk)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Serving and Garnish

  • Extra shredded coconut (for garnish, optional)
  • Fresh fruit (such as bananas or berries, for topping)
  • Maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, shredded coconut, and sugar if using. In a separate bowl, combine the coconut milk, egg, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently until just combined, ensuring not to overmix; some lumps are fine.
  2. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with coconut oil or cooking spray. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges appear set, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked. Repeat with remaining batter.
  3. Serve: Stack the cooked pancakes on plates, then garnish with extra shredded coconut and fresh fruit such as bananas or berries. Drizzle with maple syrup and serve warm for a delicious breakfast treat.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, use coconut milk and coconut oil as specified.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the pancakes fluffy.
  • Adjust sugar amount or omit if you prefer less sweetness.
  • Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and make flipping easier.
  • Additional toppings like nuts or yogurt can be added for extra texture and flavor.
