  • Yield: 1 serving 1x
  • Category: Breakfast
  • Method: Stovetop

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour/whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp shredded coconut + more for toasting and garnish
  • dash of sea salt
  • pinch of cinnamon
  • pinch of nutmeg + more for garnish
  • 1/2 cup lite canned coconut milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp coconut oil (or butter), melted
  • coconut oil for cooking*

Instructions

  1. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.  Melt about a tsp of coconut oil in the pan.  *This gives that fabulous crispy coconutty crust, but if you don't have any coconut oil, then butter or cooking spray will do.
  2. Combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
  3. Pour in wet ingredients (including the tsp of melted coconut oil) and stir until just combined.
  4. Spoon batter onto pan, forming three pancakes.  If the batter doesn't sizzle, then the pan isn't hot enough!  Cook until pancakes begin to slightly bubble and lift from pan.  Flip and cook about a minute or so longer, but don't overcook!
