Strawberry Shortcake Pancakes

Pancakes adapted from Oh She Glows.

Ingredients

• 1 cup + 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp allspice
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• Pinch of rock salt
• 3/4 cup Coconut Milk
• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
• 3/4 cup warm water
• Oil, for skillet
• Strawberry Banana Soft Serve (3 strawberries + 1 frozen banana, processed in food processor)

Directions

• Preheat oven to 250F and grab a baking sheet. Whisk the dry ingredients (flour, coconut, baking soda, baking powder, spices, and salt) in a medium sized bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (coconut milk, warm water, vanilla, maple syrup) and then add to the dry ingredients. Whisk well until no clumps remain.
• Preheat the skillet over medium heat and add some oil on the pan.
• Pour 1/4 cup of batter, per pancake, onto the skillet and quickly smooth out a circle with the back of a spoon. Cook until small bubbles appear on the surface and the bottoms of pancakes are golden. Reduce heat if necessary (I cook them on heat # ‘3’). Transfer to baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, slice about 20 strawberries. I also made Strawberry
  Banana soft serve by processing a frozen banana with a few strawberries to make the cream sauce. Once my pancakes were stacked, I scooped the strawberry banana soft serve on top. Drizzle with maple syrup and serve immediately. makes 8 small pancakes.
