Yield Makes about 20

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 13 1/2-ounce can light unsweetened coconut milk (about 1 2/3 cups)
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Vegetable oil
Tropical fruit salad
Additional pure maple syrup
Chopped natural unsalted pistachios (for garnish)
Ingredient info: Unsweetened shredded coconut is available at specialty foods stores and natural foods stores. Canned light unsweetened coconut milk is sold at many supermarkets and at Indian, Southeast Asian, and Latin markets.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250°. Whisk first 6 ingredients and 3/4 teaspoon salt in large bowl. Whisk coconut milk, 1 1/4 cups warm water, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and vanilla in medium bowl. Whisk coconut milk mixture into dry ingredients until batter is pourable.
  • Heat griddle or skillet over medium-high heat; brush with vegetable oil. Working in batches, add batter by 1/4 cupfuls. Working quickly and using back of spoon, spread each pancake to about 4-inch round. Cook until small bubbles appear on surface and bottoms of pancakes are golden, reducing heat if browning too quickly, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn over; cook until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to baking sheet. Keep warm in oven.
  • Place 2 to 3 pancakes on each plate. Top with tropical fruit salad, maple syrup, and chopped pistachios.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy tropical fruits.
  • To save time, you can buy pre-cut tropical fruit or use frozen fruit that has been thawed.
  • If you don't have coconut flakes, you can use shredded coconut or flaked coconut.
  • If you don't have pistachio nuts, you can use other nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans.
  • For a sweeter crunch, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the coconut-pistachio mixture.
  • Serve the tropical fruit salad immediately or chill it for later.

Conclusion:

This tropical fruit salad is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With its vibrant colors and exotic flavors, this salad is sure to impress your guests.
