Plantain Pancakes - An Easy Tropical Twist To Regular Pancakes
This plantain pancakes recipe is incredibly easy to make and quick to whip up. These pancakes are a great alternative to bring some variety to your breakfast or brunch menu!
Ingredients
- 2 ripe plantains, peeled and sliced
- 2 tbsp granulated white sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp baking powder
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup coconut milk, room temperature
- ¼ tsp fine salt
- Optional: butter or coconut oil, as lubricant
Instructions
Make the batter
- Place the peeled and slice plantains inside a large mixing bowl. Mash them using a fork or potato masher.
- Add the white sugar and mix it well. Make sure it is evenly distributed throughout the mashed plantains.
- Next, in a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, vanilla, and cinnamon powder. Mix them well and set them aside.
- In another separate bowl, whisk the eggs well.
- Add the coconut milk and salt to the beaten eggs. Mix them well.
- Then, add the dry ingredients to the wet egg mixture. Slowly whisk until a uniform batter comes together.
- Finally, add the mashed plantain and sugar mixture. Mix the ingredients together well so you have a uniform plantain pancake batter.
Cook the plantain pancakes
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. If you want to, add a dollop of butter or coconut oil to the pan to act as a lubricant.
- Once the pan is heated, pour the batter onto the pan about 1/2 cup. Don't add too many dollops. Leave enough space between them so they don't merge. Usually, that's about 3-4 pancakes.
- Depending on the size, leave the pancakes to cook for 30 - 60 seconds. Once bubbles start forming, flip it over. Leave it to cook on the other side for another minute.
- The pancakes should be beautifully browned and completely cooked through before you remove them from the heat.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Once your pancakes are cooked, serve them immediately with some maple syrup, honey, and other garnishes of your choice.
