Quick coconut oil pancakes

This is a really quick and easy recipe that makes fluffy pancakes rather than thin crêpes – cooking them in coconut oil isn’t strictly speaking crucial (you could cook them in vegetable oil if you had to), but there’s no doubt it’s the coconut oil that makes these pancakes so delicious, so do use it if you can.

 

Ingredients

115g/1 cup of wholemeal self-raising flour

2 tsp arrowroot

25g/2 tbsp soft light brown sugar

250ml/1 cup of rice milk or soya milk

2 tbsp coconut oil

pinch of salt

 

To serve:

lemon juice, jam, maple, agave or golden syrup – whatever you prefer.

 

Method

1. Measure out the flour, arrowroot, sugar & salt into a bowl and mix.

2. Pour in about a quarter of the milk and mix well; then gradually add the rest of the milk, mixing well between each addition to make a batter.

3. Heat the coconut oil in a frying pan and drop in about 2 tbsp of batter for each pancake. Cook 2-3 pancakes at a time for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden.

4. Serve while still warm with lemon juice, jam, maple, golden or agave syrup.
