Coconut Chocolate Chip Pancakes with Strawberries

Can I let you guys in on a little secret? Are you ready for it? Please don’t laugh at me. Ok, so I’m not the best at making pancakes. Seriously, it’s like the simplest of all recipes to make, and I totally suck at it…most of the time. I can never get that perfect circular shape. The pancake batter is always either too runny or too thick, and I NEVER get bubbles. You know, those special little bubbles that pop up when pancakes are ready to be flipped? Those bubbles. So, when a pancake recipe actually works out for me, I jump for joy. This time it worked, and it worked in the form of coconut chocolate chip pancakes. Did I mention they are delicious and I’m 100% obsessed?

 

I am so obsessed in fact, that I made extra pancake dry mix and stored it in my pantry. I also wrote down the recipe so that I never, ever forget it. I’m usually super bad at this. I never write any thing down, and just try to remember it. This usually does not work in my favor. Not so smart, huh?

I’ve always been super organized in other realms of my life. I am a big to-do checklist kind of girl and I write down my schedule every day, but never recipes! Well, lately, I’ve been trying to write things down, and my life has been a whole lot easier. I think whipping up a pancake recipe that works is what whipped me into shape. I was so discouraged that I was forced to write it down. I never ever want to forget recipes such as these.

So these pancakes are amazing. Did I mention that? I did? Ok…well, they are. I’ve made them two ways: with all-purpose flour and with coconut flour. Both ways completely worked, but I have to be honest with you…I’m an AP kind of girl. Sure, it’s fun to play around with different types of nut and specialty flours (I’ve become super taken to oat flour), but my heart will always be with AP flour. You may use either flour for this recipe though.

The batter is your everyday buttermilk pancake batter, but I removed some of the buttermilk and added some coconut milk. I also threw shredded coconut and mini chocolate chips into the mix for some added texture and sweetness. Some fresh strawberries thrown on top are just the freshness you crave with such a decadent dish.

 

Beer Love:
As we embark on cooler months, stout and porters will come out to play. These are two styles of beer that I just adore as the temperatures start to cool down. For this pairing I decided to go with a stout…an oatmeal/breakfast stout to be exact. There are so many great ones out there to choose from. They will add an extra added decadence to these pancakes!
Here are some examples of stouts that I just love for these pancakes:
 

Founder’s Brewing’s Breakfast Stout
 

FiftyFifty Brewing’s Eclipse
 

Stone Brewing’s Coffee Milk Stout
 

Bristol Brewing’s Winter Warlock
 

Breckenridge Brewery’s Oatmeal Stout

 

Happy Thursday! Enjoy the recipe because it will probably be a good six months before I share another pancake recipe! ;)

Cheers!

  1. I cannot make pancakes that are pretty for the life of me either lol! The hubs always make them. These look amazing!!

  2. These look fantastic Justine :) Your photography is gorgeous! Hope you have a great weekend coming up!

  3. Just wanted to let everyone know that if you use coconut flour, it is very dense/absorbing, and can not be used as a 1:1 sub for flour. You would want to start with 2-4 Tbsp sifted, and remember to let the batter “rest” for a minimum of 5min to allow the coconut flour to absorb. Hope you enjoy them this way! :)
