Coconut Cream Pancakes

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for gluten-free option)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs (or flax/chia eggs for vegan)
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream (fresh, high-quality preferred)
  • 3/4 cup milk or plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Cooking

  • Coconut oil or butter, for greasing the pan

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until thoroughly combined to ensure even rising and fluffiness.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs before adding coconut cream, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy to infuse a luscious tropical flavor.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; small lumps are okay to keep pancakes tender.
  4. Heat the Pan and Add Coconut Oil: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with coconut oil or butter to add a slight coconut crisp to the edges.
  5. Cook the Pancakes: Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges set, then flip carefully and cook another 1 to 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  6. Serve Warm and Enjoy: Transfer pancakes to a plate and serve immediately with your favorite toppings, or keep warm in a low oven while finishing the rest.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs and milk for a smoother batter.
  • Don’t overmix the batter; gentle folding keeps pancakes light and fluffy.
  • Maintain medium heat to cook pancakes evenly without burning.
  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to activate the baking powder fully.
  • Choose fresh, high-quality coconut cream for the best flavor and texture.
  • For dairy-free, swap milk for plant-based milk and butter for coconut oil.
  • To avoid sticking, use a well-greased non-stick pan or cast iron skillet.
