Start your morning with these fluffy, rich Sweet Coconut Cream Pancakes! Infused with coconut cream and a hint of vanilla, they’re light, tender, and perfect for breakfast or brunch. Top them with fresh fruit, maple syrup, or extra shredded coconut for a tropical touch.
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup coconut cream (full-fat for richer flavor)
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Mix Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, combine coconut cream, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Combine:
Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in shredded coconut if using.
Cook Pancakes:
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
Serve:
Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or extra coconut as desired.
Richer flavor: Use full-fat coconut cream instead of the light version.
Keep warm: Place cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a low oven while finishing the batch.
Make ahead: Store in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
Extra texture: Fold in chopped nuts or chocolate chips for a fun twist.
