Ingredients
Scale
Gathering your ingredients for coconut cream pancakes should be a breeze, just like the pancakes themselves. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup coconut cream (you can substitute with coconut milk if you prefer a lighter version)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
Feel free to swap in whole wheat flour for a healthier twist, or use a dairy-free butter substitute if you’re looking to keep things vegan. Cooking should be about what works for you and your family!
Instructions
- Start by whisking together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. This is a great time to let your kids help out—it’s fun and a little messy (just how I love it in my kitchen!).
- In another bowl, combine the coconut cream, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Whisk until it’s smooth and well blended.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. This will keep your pancakes light and fluffy!
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small pat of butter. Once melted and bubbling, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip with a spatula and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed. Remember, each pancake is a little moment of joy!
