Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour blend
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
- 3/4 cup plant-based milk (almond, oat, or soy)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and natural gelling agent. In a separate bowl, combine the coconut cream, plant-based milk, maple syrup (natural), and vanilla extract (natural), stirring until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined; a few lumps are fine to keep the pancakes tender and fluffy.
- Heat the Pan: Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of coconut oil to prevent sticking and help create a golden crust.
- Cook the Pancakes: Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and edges look set, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until both sides are golden brown.
- Serve and Enjoy: Stack the pancakes and top with your favorite garnishes such as fresh tropical fruits, toasted coconut flakes, and a drizzle of maple syrup (natural) for a delightful tropical breakfast.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for best batter consistency and rise.
- Do not overmix the batter; fold until just combined to ensure fluffy pancakes.
- Adjust heat to medium-low as needed to avoid burning.
- Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to improve texture.
- Use high-quality coconut cream for richest flavor.
