Soft & fluffy pancakes made with whole wheat flour and flavors of coconut and topped with a strawberry sauce! These can be made ahead of time or even frozen for a quick nutritious breakfast!
I’m heading to Hawaii in just two days and I’m beyond excited! Of course, I had some strawberries to use up so I decided to make a strawberry sauce for these coconut pancakes. I also have more fresh strawberries on the side. It’s April now so many berries are hitting grocery stores! I can’t wait to share more berry recipes 🙂
These are made with whole-wheat flour and so fluffy + soft! Usually many whole wheat recipes yields a dry chalky texture but these pancakes are NOT that! This is my go-to recipe whenever I use whole wheat flour. I’ve made this over 5 times already but this time, added a strawberry sauce on top! I like maple syrup on the side for dunking 🙂
I love pancakes and am always trying to test new recipes!
