Coconut Milk Recipes

I cook often with coconut milk in my recipes. When I’m giving foods an Asian twist, I turn to coconut milk. Coconut milk can be thick or thin. “When making thick milk, manufacturers grate the flesh of mature coconuts, then squeeze it through cheesecloth to extract the liquid. Thick milk retains more fat than thin milk.”

Pancakes with Coconut Milk

Coconut milk comes in quite a few varieties and is very mainstream today. From using it in your coffee and tea to adding it to cereal, oatmeal, smoothies and more recipes, coconut milk can give you lots of extra vitamins and nutrition.

Coconut Cooking

Coconut and cooking with it in the various shapes and forms has been around for a long time.

I can remember Mom buying whole coconuts, always a delicacy in our house, and using a hammer to crack it open. Coconut cooking was big in our household way back in the day.

We kids loved sipping the sweet watery juice and then digging the coconut from the shell. Mom had to make us skedaddle so she could use the sweet tender coconut meat in her recipe!

Coconut Oil for Pancakes

Cooking with coconut oil has healthy and cooking benefits. Because of its high fat concentration, cooking with coconut oil meals you can use high heat. Coconut oil is a great option for stir-frying as well as sauteing. Consider another oil if you’re deep-frying.

Yield: Makes 8-10 (about 4" diameter)

Coconut cream pancakes are the perfect weekend or special occasion treat. Loaded with healthy coconut oil, milk and shredded coconut, this is a homerun!

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup coconut milk, organic full fat
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar
  • 3 Tbl. coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp. vanilla or almond extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • ¼ tsp. sea salt
  • ½ cup shredded coconut, unsweetened
  • Coconut cooking spray

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, put the eggs and whisk together until frothy and fluffy (about 60 seconds). Add the coconut milk and oil and whisk another 30-45 seconds. Add the coconut sugar, vanilla and sour cream and whisk about 60 seconds.
  2. Sift in the flour and baking powder into the wet mixture and blend well. Fold in the shredded coconut.
  3. In a large (about 10” diameter) non-stick skillet over medium heat, let the skillet get hot then coat it lightly with cooking spray. Pour about ¼ to 1/3 cup batter per pancake grilling two pancakes at a time. Don’t crowd the skillet.
  4. Let the pancakes cook over medium to medium low heat about 2 to 2 ½ minutes on the first side. (The edges of the pancake will begin to bubble and the batter starts to lose its shine.) Gently flip and cook another about 2 ½ minutes on the other side.
  5. Remove to a plate and repeat, re-spraying the skillet as needed, until all the batter is done.
  6. Serve immediately with butter and syrup or fresh berries!

Notes

You can use sweetened shredded coconut if you want a sweeter taste. However, with syrup, you're talking a very sweet pancake. Using unsweetened coconut gives you the taste and texture without the overriding sweet.
