- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 3 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 3 tablespoons Cane Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 10 tablespoons Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
- 2 medium-sized Bananas, small dice
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Coconut Water
- 1 cup Coconut Milk
- 3/4 cup Whole Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted (plus more for greasing the griddle)
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spray, for griddle
Directions
- Preparation:
- Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl.
- Add the sugar, salt, and shredded coconut, mixing lightly with a wooden spoon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut water, coconut milk, whole milk, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, and melted butter.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the liquid mixture. Stir just enough to combine, keeping the batter slightly clumpy.
- Fold the diced bananas into the batter, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
- Cooking:
- Preheat a griddle to 275 degrees Fahrenheit or set a frying pan over medium heat. Grease lightly with a combination of spray and butter.
- Pour the batter onto the griddle using a 1 cup measure for large pancakes or 1/4 cup for smaller ones.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and begin to burst, about 2-3 minutes, then flip carefully.
- Continue cooking until the pancakes are brown and crisp, another 2-3 minutes, adding more spray and butter as needed.
- Serving:
- Transfer the pancakes to a plate or platter and serve hot with 100% maple syrup.
- For an authentic “The Rock” experience, top your pancakes with peanut butter.
Chef’s Notes:
- Opt for organic ingredients whenever possible to maximize the health benefits.
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure your pancakes stay fluffy.
