Tropical Coconut Pancakes with Creamy Coconut Topping

Sweet Coconut Cream Pancakes

Soft, fluffy pancakes with a rich coconut flavor, topped with a luscious coconut cream drizzle—perfect for a tropical brunch or cozy breakfast.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 2 to 3 people (about 6 pancakes) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp melted coconut oil (or butter)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup canned coconut cream (chilled and thickened)
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: shredded coconut for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, whisk coconut milk, egg, melted coconut oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—don’t overmix.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with coconut oil or butter.
  5. Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form, flip, and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk coconut cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
  7. Stack pancakes, spoon coconut cream on top, and sprinkle with shredded coconut. Serve warm.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter for fluffier pancakes. Use full-fat coconut milk for best flavor. Toasted coconut makes a great garnish!
