Units
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) whole wheat flour
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- pinch of ground cloves
- 1 cup (240 ml) coconut milk, mixed well until smooth (light or full fat)
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk or almond milk
- 6 tbsp (90 ml) pumpkin puree (make your own! It's so much better. Follow the link above)
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) melted coconut oil, cooled + extra for cooking
- 1 egg
- 1 cup (240 ml) toasted, unsweetened coconut flakes
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ground ginger, salt, nutmeg, and ground cloves.
- In another bowl, combine the coconut milk, pumpkin puree, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with additional coconut oil if necessary.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary.
- Serve the pancakes warm, topped with toasted coconut flakes.
Notes
- For the best flavor, make your own pumpkin puree.
- Toasted coconut flakes add a nice crunch and extra coconut flavor.
- These pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in a toaster or skillet for best results.
