Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1.25 cups Coconut milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Melted coconut oil (or butter)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Crushed pineapple (drained)
- 1 medium Ripe banana (mashed)
- 0.25 cups Shredded coconut (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Butter or oil (for cooking)
- Maple syrup or tropical fruit syrup (for serving)
- Fresh tropical fruits (such as mango, kiwi, or papaya, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, egg, melted coconut oil (or butter), and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are fine.
Gently fold in the crushed pineapple, mashed banana, and shredded coconut (if using). Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with maple syrup (or tropical fruit syrup) and fresh tropical fruits for garnish.
