Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (whole-wheat pastry flour works too)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 large egg (beaten, free-range if possible)
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 3/4 cup light coconut milk (canned)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (melted, plus extra for cooking)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Non-stick skillet or griddle
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and shredded coconut until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the beaten egg, almond milk, light coconut milk, and melted coconut oil until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of coconut oil to coat the surface.
  5. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown.
  6. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, like fresh fruit, syrup, or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes for fluffier pancakes.
  • Adjust the heat to avoid burning the pancakes while ensuring they cook through.
  • Use high-quality coconut products for enhanced flavor.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of coconut sugar.
