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!
