Saturday mornings are pancakes mornings. After a busy week, it is therapeutic to start the morning off flipping pancakes and sipping dark coffee.
This recipe came into my life after I discovered how to make coconut yogurt. I had an abundance in my refrigerator and wanted to try it in a recipe rather than on a recipe (like my crepes). Thus these incredibly creamy, slightly tangy, and perfectly fluffy pancakes came to be.
If you’re into #saturdaymorningpancakes like I am, give this incredibly simple, 20 minute, gluten free and vegan recipe a try!
Let’s make Fluffy Coconut Yogurt Pancakes!
This recipe starts off with some basic ingredients. Oat flour makes the base fluffy (and naturally gf!), plant based milk makes it creamy, maple syrup makes it naturally sweet, and vanilla adds a touch of extra flavor. Throw in a few more ingredients and finally we add the heaping 1/2 cup of coconut yogurt. This ingredient adds a slight tang, healthy fat, and a creaminess that cannot be beat!
I love topping these pancakes with fresh berries, sliced bananas and a little extra syrup—though you can top with with whatever fresh fruit and natural sweetener you have on hand!
I hope you love these pancakes as much as I do! They are:
Simple
Creamy
Fluffy
Tangy
Naturally sweetened
and so quick to make!
