Sweet Coconut Cream Pancakes are soft, fluffy, and lightly sweet with a rich coconut flavor that makes breakfast feel extra special. Made with coconut cream for a tender texture and subtle tropical taste, these pancakes are perfect for slow mornings, brunch gatherings, or when you want to treat yourself to something comforting and indulgent.
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup coconut cream
1 large egg
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup shredded coconut (optional)
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix the coconut cream, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in shredded coconut if using.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.
Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Use full-fat coconut cream for the richest flavor and fluffiest texture.
Do not overmix the batter—a few lumps are fine and help keep pancakes tender.
Control the heat: Medium heat prevents burning while allowing pancakes to cook through.
Make them extra special: Add sliced bananas or chocolate chips to the batter.
