Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons plant-based sugar
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, plant-based sugar, natural gelling agent, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and dry components for the fluffiest pancakes.
- Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the creamy coconut milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract (natural) until fully blended, creating a rich and flavorful liquid base.
- Bring wet and dry together: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Some lumps are fine to maintain a light and tender texture; avoid overmixing.
- Cook the pancakes: Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and edges look set, then flip and cook until golden brown.
- Serve warm and enjoy: Stack the fluffy Coconut Cream Pancakes on a plate and serve with your favorite toppings for a heartwarming breakfast experience.
Notes
- Use freshly measured baking powder for maximum fluffiness.
- Maintain medium heat on the pan to cook pancakes evenly without burning.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to activate the natural gelling agent for better texture.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense pancakes.
- Use thick, creamy coconut milk for best richness and flavor.
