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 pretty sure they’re my fave because I don’t have to make them myself and things always taste better when there are no dishes to do afterwards 🙂
But, I am pretty sure that these would be my new favorite…as long as you come over and make them for me, kay?
Oh Amy! Amy, Amy, Amy! Can I come over for breakfast?!? These just look *heavenly!*
Yum! This recipe sounds fantastic & I love the top picture. Now if I could only get my hubby off the golf coarse on a weekend morning to enjoy these with me… (pancakes are always more fun when shared with the people you love)

Where is my mixer? These look wonderful. I usually love blueberry or apple but never in a million years would I have thought of coconut. Divine!
Yum!!! I saw these on TastyKitchen and had to swing by to say that they look MARVELLOUS. I love coconut milk in curries, and I’m excited to expand and use it in other things. Mmmmm.
My favorite pancakes are chocolate chip, but they never turn out as fluffy as your did.

Coconut definitely reminds me of my favorite vacation spot – Hawaii. I had a taste of fresh coconut water for the first time straight from the coconut, and bought all sorts of tropical fruit which would go nicely on top of these gorgeous pancakes – papaya, mango, passion fruit, pineapple.
