Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder (natural)
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
- 3/4 cup plant-based milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Others
- Plant-based butter or neutral oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare Your Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder (natural), natural gelling agent, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the coconut cream, plant-based milk, maple syrup (natural), and vanilla extract (natural). Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your pancakes as tender as possible.
- Heat Your Pan: Preheat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly oil the surface with a small amount of plant-based butter or neutral oil, spreading it evenly. This ensures a golden crust without sticking and helps your pancakes cook evenly.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the hot pan. Cook until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges begin to set, typically 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip and cook for another minute or until the bottoms are golden brown. Keep them warm while finishing the batch.
- Final Touches: Serve your Coconut Cream Pancakes immediately, or keep them warm in a low oven while you prep toppings and sides. Enjoy their fluffy texture and coconut aroma at their best.
Notes
- Use room temperature coconut cream and plant-based milk for an even batter blend and fluffier pancakes.
- A few lumps in the batter are okay to maintain tender pancakes; do not overmix.
- Cook pancakes on low to medium heat to avoid burning and ensure thorough cooking.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to activate the natural gelling agent and baking powder for better rise.
- Use a non-stick pan or griddle for easy flipping and to maintain pancake texture and shape.
