Coconut Pancakes & Strawberry Compote

Coconut Pancakes & Strawberry Compote

  • Total Time: 30min
  • Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 12 strawberries, hulled and diced
  • 2 tbsp sugar, divided
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract, divided
  • 1¼ cups all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1¼ cups coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp + 2 tsp coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil, for frying
  • unsweetened flaked coconut, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. To make compote, mix strawberries, 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the sugar, lime juice and ¼ tsp (1 mL) of vanilla in top of double-boiler. Cook on low, covered, 15 min. or until sugar has dissolved and fruit is slightly softened. Set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, to make pancake batter, whisk together flour, remaining sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Set aside. In another bowl, whisk together egg, coconut milk, coconut oil and remaining ¼ tsp (1 mL) vanilla. Make well in flour mixture; pour in egg mixture. Use a fork to gently mix until flour mixture is thoroughly moistened but batter is still lumpy.
  3. Preheat 1 tsp (5 mL) vegetable oil in large skillet over medium heat. Using ¼-cup (60 mL) measure, scoop batter into skillet. Cook until bubbles appear in centre of each pancake, bottom is golden and edges look cooked, about 2 to 3 min. Flip and cook another 2 min., until golden. Repeat process with remaining batter, adding more oil to pan as needed.
  4. Serve topped with strawberry compote or coconut-flavoured yogourt, a drizzle of maple syrup and sprinkle of coconut flakes.
