To me, pancakes are a sunday morning ritual. The truth is, when living in Mexico they were something we cooked almost every sunday for breakfast or brunch.

Pancakes to me, should be sweet, and with sweet toppings, but there’s only one way that I can eat them savory: with cheddar type cheese melted on top (the nachos type cheese) and some turkey ham slices on top cooked on the pan. I know it sounds a little weird but this combination is just amazing. Generally, I would eat first one pancake like this and then go on to eating another pancake with something sweet on top, with some dulce de leche on top, or maybe some cream cheese and nutella.

Pancakes are so diverse that they can be healthy, vegan, gluten-free, low in carbs, etc. I prefer them to be just regular pancakes to then add whichever toppings I like on top.

These coconut pancakes are really soft and fluffy. They have a light and not too sweet flavor, so they are perfect to eat with some honey and fruit.

According to me, one of the key points to get a round pancake is to make one by one and not add to much mixture on to the pan. This is, of course, usign a big pan to make them be perfect. When I’m in a hurry I usually make them two at a time, and they always sort of end up a bit irregular. Anyways, the good part is cooking at home and making them be really yummy.

The coconut this recipe calls for is natural sugrafree chredded coconut, or coconut flour which is basically the same but processed. Then, you can add some coconut as a topping.
