This Coconut Pancake Recipe makes a fluffy pancakes with just the right amount of coconut flavor.
Coconut is on the brain, as well as all warm and sunny, blue-watered places that inspire all things coconut. So what better way to start the day than with Coconut Pancakes? Stick your feet in a kiddie pool, turn on some Caribbean tunes while you enjoy a plate of these, and you just may be able to drift off to a deserted island even if for a short while.
This recipe creates a thicker pancake batter for fluffy coconut-y pancakes. The addition of coconut milk and shredded coconut creates a thicker batter than regular pancake batter, but you will find that they cook in the same amount of time as most pancakes, rising a little more to their fluffy goodness. I’d recommend testing a few to begin with to perfect the cook time and desired size.
Top these Coconut Pancakes off with your favorite syrup, fresh whipped cream, fresh berries or a bit of lime zest for a delicious tropical-inspired start to the day. You may find everyone rising and shining early for these. The early bird gets the Coconut Pancakes after all!
Enjoy! And pass the syrup!

These pancakes are amazing. They are my husbands and my favorite. Going to go make a batch right now. Top with a coconut syrup. Pure deliciousness.
Thank you for this great recipe. I did not have buttermilk so I used regular milk. We really like coconut so I added 3/4 of a cup of shredded coconut, 1/2 a teaspoon of coconut extract, and one full cup of coconut milk as the batter was very thick. They were delicious!
It wld be helpful to also show the ingredients in gram. Cup may vary in size
Loved it! I had most of a can of coconut cream to use so I replaced the coconut milk in the recipe with that. Batter came out pretty thick so I thinned it with a few tablespoons of whole milk. Made ten pancakes. Yum!
Love love this recipe but minus the coconut shreds and full fat coconut milk (out of can) also made buttermilk with it. (A bit more liquid than recommended. Added extra yolk cause I had small eggs. 🤌❤️ CRISPY EDGES and just like those buttermilk pancakes before we went dairy free. Or you can make them flatter. Thank you so much!
Absolutely phantastict.I used my homemade yoghurt, since I did not have buttermilk at home. Heaven on earth in the morning I guess you can also eat them at dawning!
This recipe was sitting way back in an old Pinterest board. So glad I decided to finally try it! Such good pancakes! Great texture. Topped with a fresh blueberry and cardamom compote and caramelized bananas. Can’t wait to make again with a more tropical compote!
