After the last batch of pancakes were a total bust (Oatmeal pancakes) – my girls were not overly thrilled when I told them I was going to make them pancakes for breakfast. I assured them these would be better. There was a lot of pressure on me – waiting for food first thing in the morning is not easy for kids – especially when they get their hopes up that it is something good. I saw this recipe in Cooking Light, and I knew they had to be better than the Oatmeal pancakes. Adding coconut milk to anything makes it taste good – at least that’s what I was hoping.
Thank goodness I was right. These pancakes were incredible. Even adding just light coconut milk made all the difference – I can’t imagine adding regular coconut milk, they would be decadent. The pancakes were ridiculously delicious – and so thick and fluffy – look at the picture, I am not joking! These pancakes were so good, I had them for dessert that night – I just warmed one up in the microwave, served it with a little syrup – and it was such a treat. The coconut milk was not overpowering, but gave the pancakes just a wonderful essence of coconut flavor. If you are looking for pancakes that are just a little different – look no further. And make some extras for the next morning – they are awesome warmed up in the microwave, unless you are like me, and can’t wait for morning to have more…

Made these this morning. They were awesome!
Love this! Can’t wait to make them. Of course, I’ll add chocolate chips
This looks very tasty, I wonder what would happen if you used coconut oil instead of canola. May have to try it.
Yes, please try it and let me know – I would think it would be delicious!!
I have a question. Are we talking about coconut milk from a can (Thai Kitchen brand) or coconut milk from a carton (like So Delicious)?
Thai kitchen is what I used – or the Trader Joes brand.
