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!

I’m really into coconut milk and cream these days, it has such a nice flavor that is so subtle in batter and other treats. I’m definitely going to try these!
Mouthwatering! I absolutely LOVE coconut milk. Have you ever had coconut butter?! It is so delicious. It would taste so good smothered on these!
Ooh Jessica!
That sounds magical even. ; )

I’m totally sticking my feet in the pool and eating these up…I love all things coconut. Always. These pancakes are brilliant I tell you! (Coconut milk in the batter!!)
These look great! I love coconut in anything!
Gorgeous! We are pancake fanatics around here, looking forward to trying your delicious coconut ones!
this reminds me of our recent maui vacation where i may or may not have overdosed on all things coconut…although i have to say, i don’t really know if it’s possible to OD on coconut. it’s just always so stinking good! love this recipe 🙂
I like ANY kind of pancake!! These look divine.
Just lovely. These look so wonderful
My mouth is watering!
My favorite pancakes are made with ricotta cheese and blueberries but I LOVE coconut and am already thinking about these, with maybe a ginger/coconutty (I use the word; it’s in Webster’s isn’t it?) syrup.
I think this is the first time I have ever seen coconut pancakes!! How genius! Beautiful pics too. 🙂
These look so yummy!
Pancakes and Coconut 2 of my favorite things together?
I say YES! 😀
Those little beauties make me feel sunny just looking at them. I’ll get the kiddie pool ready when it comes time to eat one and I’m quite certain that I’ll find myself smack dab in the middle of the Caribbean.
Le sigh.
I like the flavor of coconut but not really coconut itself. These look like they would taste like a tropical island!
coconut was always in my top 10 – add these goodies to the list!
These look awesome! After trying coconut oil for the first time a few weeks ago, I have been craving everything coconut! I would love to try making these but use coconut oil instead of butter to fry them! 🙂
Amy, these sounds SO good. I am so curious to try coconut milk in my next batch of pancakes.
I will definitely try these. I do love buttermilk pancakes.
I’m making these for my husband, he’s a serious coconut lover!
I love coconutty things – think I would really get into the idea of indulging in these next to the aforementioned kiddy pool 😉
