Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1.25 cups Coconut milk
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Melted coconut oil (or butter)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Crushed pineapple (drained)
• 1 medium Ripe banana (mashed)
• 0.25 cups Shredded coconut (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Butter or oil (for cooking)
• 0 Maple syrup or tropical fruit syrup (for serving)
• 0 Fresh tropical fruits (such as mango, kiwi, or papaya, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, egg, melted coconut oil (or butter), and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are fine.

Step 4

Gently fold in the crushed pineapple, mashed banana, and shredded coconut (if using). Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.

Step 6

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 8

Serve the pancakes warm, topped with maple syrup (or tropical fruit syrup) and fresh tropical fruits for garnish.
