1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup coconut cream
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon coconut oil (melted)
1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)
Additional coconut cream for serving
Fresh fruit for serving (optional)
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine and set aside.
Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut cream, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the melted coconut oil and whisk again to combine.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. If desired, fold in the shredded coconut for an extra tropical flavor and texture.
Cook the Pancakes: Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface, then flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown on both sides.
Serve: Serve the pancakes hot, drizzled with extra coconut cream and topped with fresh fruit, if desired. Enjoy your tropical-inspired breakfast!
