Coconut Pancakes are made with coconut milk and shredded coconut for lots of coconut flavor. Top them with a little toasted coconut for a wonderful breakfast or brunch recipe.
Pancakes are my absolute favorite for breakfast and I love trying different variations. Scroll down to find more pancake recipes above the recipe box.
The batter for these pancakes is on the thin side because there is so much liquid in it, but these pancakes cook up so delicious.
Recipe Tip
Be sure they have cooked enough before flipping them them and they will hold their shape just fine.
Finish these Coconut Pancakes off with some maple syrup, butter, or whipped cream, and maybe even a few fresh berries.
For even more coconut flavor, cook the pancakes in coconut oil. Or just use vegetable oil.
If you don’t have any buttermilk, you can mix 1 scant cup of whole milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar.
A batch of Coconut Pancakes will bring a tropical feel to your morning!
