  • Method: Stovetop
  • Cuisine: Tropical-Inspired

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup coconut cream (plus more for topping)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Butter or oil (for cooking)
  • Optional toppings: Shredded coconut, maple syrup, fresh fruit, extra coconut cream

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, coconut milk, coconut cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined — do not overmix. A few small lumps are okay.
  4. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  5. Scoop 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook 2–3 minutes per side, flipping when bubbles form and the edges look set.
  6. Repeat with remaining batter. Stack pancakes and top with extra coconut cream, syrup, fruit, or shredded coconut.

Notes

  • Add shredded coconut to the batter for texture.
  • A bit of lime zest or mashed banana makes a fun tropical variation.
  • For a fancier finish, top with coconut whipped cream and toasted coconut.
