These pancakes are not only a delicious way to begin the day but also a healthier alternative with their lighter texture. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and coconut flakes for a heavenly finish!
Ingredients (Serves 4):
- Coconut Milk: 8.5 fl oz (250 ml)
- Eggs: 2 large
- Flour: 6.3 oz (180 g)
- Baking Powder: 1 teaspoon (5 ml)
- Sugar: 1.75 oz (50 g)
- Salt: a pinch
- Coconut Oil: 2 oz (60 g)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs with the sugar and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy. This ensures that the sugar is well-dissolved and the eggs are ready to bind with other ingredients.
Incorporate Coconut Milk:
Gradually pour in the coconut milk while continuously stirring the egg mixture. Mix until fully integrated and the texture is uniform.
Add Dry Ingredients:
Sift the flour and baking powder together to avoid lumps and ensure even distribution in the batter. Gradually add the sifted flour and baking powder to the wet ingredients, stirring continuously until the batter is smooth and free of clumps.
Cook the Pancakes:
Heat a skillet over medium heat and brush with coconut oil to prevent sticking and add extra flavor.
Pour about 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of batter into the center of the skillet for each pancake. Allow the batter to spread into a small circle naturally.
Cook each pancake for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown, flipping carefully with a spatula.
Serve:
Serve the pancakes hot, sprinkled with powdered sugar and coconut flakes for a delightful tropical twist. Add a dollop of coconut yogurt or a drizzle of honey for extra indulgence.
These coconut milk pancakes offer a delicious escape to the tropics with every bite. The use of coconut oil not only enhances their flavor but also makes them lighter and healthier. Enjoy this easy-to-make breakfast that’s sure to impress both family and guests alike!
