- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
Wet Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups almond milk or (carton not canned) coconut milk unsweetened
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup mashed mango I blend or mash thawed frozen mango chunks
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil preferably refined but see notes below :)
For cooking
- refined coconut oil for the pan
In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the wet ingredients except the coconut oil. Stir to combine and set aside.
In another mixing bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients and whisk to combine. Then graudally add to the wet ingredeints and mix until combined.
Add the coconut oil, mix, and let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes so that the vinegar and baking soda have time to create air bubbles. Those bubbles = fluffy, delicious pancakes so don't skip this step! In the meantime, you can slice your fruit for toppings or just do what I do: pour a cup of coffee and watch some TV while I wait for the kitchen timer to go off :)
Cooking the Pancakes
Warm a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spray or grease lightly with some coconut oil and ONCE WARM, add in about 1/4 cup of pancake batter per pancake. I usually fit in the pan at a time. See the Notes below to learn why the temperature in the pan makes a big difference :)
Let the pancakes rest undistrubed for 3 minutes or until the edges are lighly golden and lots of there's lots of air bubbles on the surface of each pancake. Then gently flip and cook for an addition 2-3 minutes or until the pancake is cooked through and golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, lowering the heat as needed in between pancakes.
Serve
I like serving these pancakes with sliced bananas and some toasted coconut but really any fruit you have on hand will be delicous. Sometimes I add kiwi or sliced grapes if I have them. Strawberries are good too! Use what you have and then spirnkle on some toasted coocnut flakes.
Finish your masterpeice with a drizle of maple syrup - and maybe a touch of salted tahini, almond butter, or a pat of vegan butter if desired - and voila! Your vacation-on-a-plate of a breakfast is complete! So Summery and tropical and delicous. I hope you enjoy!
