    Vegan Toasted Coconut Pancakes

    Vegan Toasted Coconut Pancakes

    Something about weekends just says “pancakes”, right? These easy, light, fluffy vegan toasted coconut pancakes are weekend breakfast perfection. They’re golden brown, bursting with toasted coconut flavor, and totally made for sopping up sweet maple syrup.

    Vegan Toasted Coconut Pancakes

    Since we make pancakes so often, we like to try lots of different flavors and toasted coconut has often been a top request. We’re a coconut loving crew in general and our weekend pancake tradition is no exception. Plus, it fills the house with the mouth-watering smell of toasted coconut and that alone might make them a top contender for my favorite Saturday morning pancakes.

    Vegan Toasted Coconut Pancakes

    What makes the coconut, toasted?

    Before, we would mix the coconut right into the batter. But one chaotic morning I forgot to mix it in so I tried a different method. I had scooped out the batter onto the griddle. Little bubbles were already starting to form, so I sprinkled each pancake with the coconut and let it sink in just a bit. Then I flipped them and cooked as usual for 3-4 minutes on the second side.

    From that oversight came everyone’s new favorite way to eat coconut pancakes. Coconut mixed into the batter can add more texture than flavor. But on the outer layer, it hits the hot griddle directly and toasts up to perfection. Every bite gets a layer of toasted coconut and simple pancakes become next-level delicious.

    Vegan Toasted Coconut Pancakes

    Are they easy to make?

    Yes! These pancakes use everyday pantry ingredients, especially if you dabble in vegan baking. At first glance, flaxseed might appear to be the most “exotic” ingredient. But flax eggs are a vegan baking staple. Plus they’re packed with fiber, magnesium, and loads of other nutrients. If you’re interested, you can check out their nutrition profile here.

    How do you make flax eggs?

    If you haven’t tried them already, they’re incredibly easy to make. Simply take 1 tbsp of flaxseed and mix it with 3 tbsp of water (or milk in this case). In 5 minutes it will look gooey and gel-like. And it helps to moisten and bind in place of eggs.

    Ratio: 1 tbsp milled flaxseed : 3 tbsp water (or milk) = 1 flax “egg”

    For this recipe, I mix the flax into the milk at the beginning. That way, all other ingredients can be added to the same bowl. They’re typically made separately though, and added into the wet ingredients. Either way works with this recipe – I’ve just chosen the path with the least dirty dishes.
