Ingredients
For the Pancake Mix:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the Wet Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups coconut milk (or regular milk)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter (or vegetable oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Serving:
- Grated coconut (fresh or desiccated)
- Sliced bananas (optional)
- Maple syrup or honey (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well blended. Set aside.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Step 4: Preheat the Griddle
- Heat a non-stick griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
Step 5: Cook the Pancakes
- Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 6: Flip the Pancakes
- Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7: Remove and Keep Warm
- Remove the pancakes from the griddle and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 8: Serve
- Serve the pancakes warm, topped with grated coconut, sliced bananas, and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey if desired.
Tips
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
- If you prefer thicker pancakes, let the batter sit for a few minutes before cooking.
