Description
Coconut cream pancakes are fluffy and flavorful pancakes made with coconut milk, shredded coconut, and other ingredients, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup coconut milk, organic full fat
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened
- Coconut cooking spray
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs together until frothy and fluffy (about 60 seconds).
- Add the coconut milk and coconut oil, and whisk for another 30-45 seconds.
- Add the coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and sour cream, whisking for another 60 seconds.
- Sift in the flour and baking powder into the wet mixture and blend well. Fold in the shredded coconut.
- In a large (about 10” diameter) non-stick skillet over medium heat, let the skillet get hot, then coat it lightly with cooking spray.
- Pour about 1/4 to 1/3 cup batter per pancake, grilling two pancakes at a time. Don’t crowd the skillet.
- Let the pancakes cook over medium to medium-low heat for about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes on the first side. The edges of the pancake will begin to bubble, and the batter starts to lose its shine.
- Gently flip and cook for another 2 1/2 minutes on the other side.
- Remove the pancakes to a plate and repeat, re-spraying the skillet as needed, until all the batter is cooked.
- Serve immediately with butter and syrup or fresh berries.
Notes
- For a lighter texture, do not overmix the batter.
- Use unsweetened shredded coconut to prevent excessive sweetness.
- Adjust the cooking temperature as needed to prevent the pancakes from burning.
- Top the pancakes with fresh fruits or maple syrup for extra flavor.
