Ingredients
  

For the Pancake Batter
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Provides structure and volume; substitute with gluten-free flour for a suitable alternative.
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar Adds sweetness; use coconut sugar for a healthier twist.
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder Ensures the pancakes rise; check for freshness.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Aids in leavening; can be swapped with baking powder.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Balances sweetness; a pinch enhances flavors.
  • 1 cup Coconut Cream Infuses pancakes with rich flavor; can replace with full-fat coconut milk.
  • 1 large Egg Acts as a binder; for vegan, use flaxseed egg (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water).
  • 2 tablespoons Melted Butter Adds moisture; coconut oil works for dairy-free.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Offers depth of flavor; use almond extract for variation.
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Coconut Optional; choose sweetened or unsweetened.

Equipment

  • large mixing bowl
  • non-stick skillet or griddle

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  2. In another bowl, combine the coconut cream, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; fold in shredded coconut if desired.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Test readiness with water droplets.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the skillet per pancake. Cook until bubbles form, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  6. Serve warm with toppings like fruit, maple syrup, or shredded coconut.
