Description
These Healthy Coconut Pancakes are light, fluffy, and naturally sweetened with coconut. Made with wholesome ingredients, they’re the perfect choice for a nutritious breakfast or brunch. Top them with fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of shredded coconut for the ultimate treat.
Ingredients
- ½ cup coconut flour (or whole wheat flour for a heartier texture)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup coconut milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (for cooking)
Instructions
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and shredded coconut.
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add coconut milk, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
-
Combine Ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir until smooth. Let the batter sit for a few minutes to thicken. If the batter is too thick, add a bit more milk to adjust the consistency.
-
Cook the Pancakes: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with coconut oil. Pour small amounts of batter onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes, until golden brown.
-
Serve: Stack your pancakes and serve warm with fresh fruit, honey, or a sprinkle of extra shredded coconut.
Notes
- Let the batter rest to allow the coconut flour to absorb the liquid for a better texture.
- Cook on low to medium heat to prevent the pancakes from browning too quickly.
- Use a small spatula to flip gently, as these pancakes are more delicate than regular ones.
- Adjust the batter thickness by adding more milk if necessary.
