Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar (if using), baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the coconut milk and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil to coat the surface.
- Pour about ½ cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or shredded coconut.
