Coconut Pancakes

17/11/2023

Coconut pancakes are an excellent variation of traditional pancakes, with that exotic taste that brings a bit of novelty to breakfast or brunch. Here’s my Italian style recipe to prepare tasty and fluffy coconut pancakes:

Ingredients

  • 120 g of all-purpose flour
  • 30 g of coconut flour (or shredded coconut)
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 egg
  • 180 ml of coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil (melted) or melted butter
  • Vanilla essence (optional)
  • Coconut oil or butter for cooking the pancakes

Preparation

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, whisk the egg with the coconut milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla essence, if using.
  3. Combine the liquid ingredients with the dry ingredients, mixing well until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
  4. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-high heat and lightly grease with coconut oil or butter.
  5. Pour a ladle of batter for each pancake onto the hot pan and cook until bubbles appear on the surface.
  6. Flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook the other side until golden brown.
  7. Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or for a true Italian touch, a dusting of cocoa and hazelnut cream.

Curiosity

Coconut is a fruit widely used in tropical cooking and is becoming increasingly popular in Western recipes for its exotic aroma and nutritional properties. Incorporating coconut flour and coconut milk into pancakes enhances their flavor and makes them even softer and moister, giving you a truly special start to the day.

I wish you fun in the kitchen and a delicious breakfast!
