Ingredients
200 g all-purpose flour
30 g cornstarch
30 g desiccated coconut, shredded
50 g almond meal
1 tbsp poppy seeds
15 g baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
280 ml almond or dairy-free milk
140 g soy or dairy-free yogurt
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbsp cane sugar
Zest from one lemon
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, coconut, almond meal, poppy seeds, baking powder and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt, oil, sugar and lemon zest. Add the milk and whisk to combine.
Pour the wet preparation into the bowl with the dry ingredients, and gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Don’t over mix the batter or your pancakes won’t be as fluffy!
Grease a large griddle or pan with cooking oil or vegan butter, and preheat over medium heat. Once hot, spoon 1/4 cup of the batter on to the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbles form at the surface, then flip to the other side and cook for 1-2 minutes or until golden. Repeat the process with the remaining pancake batter.
Serve warm with thick dairy-free yogurt, coconut chips, extra zest and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
Notes
These pancakes are best enjoyed warm right after baking. Cooled leftover pancakes stored in an airtight container will keep in the refrigerator up to 3 days. Quickly reheat the pancakes in the toaster before to enjoy.
Do not overmix your batter or your pancakes won’t be as fluffy! Mix your batter to combine, and that’s it. A few lumps are okay.
