Vegan Caramelised Pineapple Coconut Pancakes
These thick, fluffy pancakes make for a brilliant weekend breakfast. Sticky, sweet caramelised pineapple pairs beautifully with the coconut for a real feast of flavour.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
For the pancakes:
225 g self raising flour
10 g light brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
a pinch of salt
15 g chia seeds
400 ml coconut milk drink
2 tbsp coconut oil (for cooking)
For the caramelised pineapple:
50 g light brown sugar
100 ml coconut milk drink
½ pineapple (peeled and sliced)
Recipe:
Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and chia seeds to a large mixing bowl. Mix to combine, then pour in the coconut milk drink. Whisk to create a smooth batter and set aside.
Heat the sugar and coconut milk together in a frying pan until the sugar has melted and the mixture is bubbling. Add the sliced pineapple. Cook in the coconut-caramel sauce for 4-5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and the pineapple slices are tender and caramelised. Turn off the heat and set aside.
Melt a little coconut oil in a large frying pan, and add a large spoonful of the batter for each pancake. Cook over low heat until golden, and when small bubbles start to appear (for 2-3 minutes). Flip the pancakes over and cook for another minute, or until pale golden and well-risen. Transfer to a plate and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter to make 12 pancakes.
Serve 3 warm pancakes per person with some of the pineapple slices, drizzling over any remaining caramel from the pan. Enjoy.
