Description

Fluffy Coconut Cream Pancakes are tender, custard-like pancakes infused with a rich coconut flavor. Made with the creamy thick part of coconut milk, they have a delicate texture and a slightly tropical taste. Perfect for a cozy breakfast served with maple syrup, fresh berries, and a pat of butter, these pancakes are quick to prepare and easy to cook on a stovetop griddle or non-stick pan.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Pancakes:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup canned coconut cream (the thick part from the top)
  • 2/3 cup whole milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut (optional)

For Serving:

  • Maple syrup
  • Fresh berries
  • Extra coconut flakes
  • Butter

Instructions

  1. Get Everything Ready: Separate the thick coconut cream from the top of a chilled can of coconut milk. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Build the Flavor Base: In a separate bowl, whisk the coconut cream until smooth. Add whole milk, a large egg, melted butter (make sure it’s not hot), and vanilla extract. Whisk these wet ingredients together gently.
  3. Bring It Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold just until partially combined. It’s okay if the batter has some lumps. Fold in the shredded coconut if using. The batter should be thick but pourable.
  4. Cook the Pancakes: Preheat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the pancakes warm topped with maple syrup, fresh berries, extra coconut flakes, and butter if desired. Enjoy the tender, fluffy, and tropical-flavored pancakes.

Notes

  • Keep your coconut milk cans in the fridge overnight to separate the cream easily.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy and tender.
  • Let the melted butter cool slightly before adding to avoid scrambling the egg.
  • Use a good quality non-stick pan or griddle to prevent sticking since the batter can be delicate.
  • Flip the pancakes carefully as they are more delicate than regular pancakes due to the coconut cream.
