Coconut Pancakes with Pistachio & Pomegranate

Hello people,

I trust that you’re all well. Over the weekend I posted a photo of these ahh-mazing pancakes on Instagram and I got really great feedbacks. I’m excited to be finally sharing the recipe you. You know how I love my pancakes, they are one of my favorite things to make and eat. I love creating new experiences each time I have them. This flavor combo is worth all the failed experiments. This recipe is da bomb. (In the words of my hood friend’s lol)

Coconut is a super food wonder; almost everything about it is useful and nourishing. I love that strong unmistakable scent that diffuses through the room when you cook with it. I can’t decide what I love most, the oil, milk, meat, powder, water? There is just so much to pick from. Do tell me what your favorite coconut products are; I’m sure you’re more decisive than me.

One of the best things about coconut is that it is gluten-free which paves the way to some of the tastiest gluten-free inventions. The combination of the coconut powder with gluten free flour really leaves for a nice and fluffy pancake that I’m sure you’ll love. Here, I layered mine with pomegranate jam, pistachios and fresh juicy pomegranates. The result was a mouthful of vibrant flavors and complementary textures. You’ll be blown away.

I really hope you enjoy this. I’ll be expecting your questions and comments.

Side note: Any tips on how to deseed a pomegranate without recasting the 2ND World war will be welcomed.

Ingredients

½ cup Gluten free flour

¾ cup coconut powder

½ cup plant milk (I used soy)

1 medium egg

2 tablespoons honey

¼ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon vanilla paste

Coconut oil – For frying

 

Directions

Just throw everything in a blender and blitz till you get a smooth batter. This is a gangster pancake.

Heat up a nonstick griddle to medium high. Grease lightly with the coconut oil and ladle about two tablespoons at a time for the perfect mini pancake.

Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side. Stack and slather with pomegranate jam, fresh pomegranates and chopped pistachio for a delightful breakfast. Sprinkle some coconut powder on top if you’re feeling extra fancy.

    You blend your pancake batter! I’ve thought about doing this sooo many times, but then the first pancake recipe I tried said to mix the batter consistently in the same direction- clockwise or anticlockwise and I thought blending might mess that up. These look good! I will try blending soon :)

      Thank you.
      Yes! Sometimes I do the whole dry ingredients then wet ingredients, but I was feeling pretty lazy doing this & to be honest I don’t think it makes that much of a difference.
      Let me know how blending works out for you.
