If you follow me on twitter-then you know about a month ago I bought some coconut oil. Not only is it a miracle worker on my feet (um yeah that’s not where this blog is going) but I have created a few good recipes using it (but also easy and well…with breakfast!)
It makes sense that I start with pancakes right? (These are extremely high in healthy fat!)
½ cup flour
1 egg
¾ cup coconut milk (you can add more/less…this is just how I like my pancakes)
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 tsp baking powder
Pour and put on the griddle!
*I also added ½ cup blueberries because I was feeling it
Another coconut option I was thinking was dark chocolate+coconut+flaked coconut…so many options!
Questions for you:
1. How do you use coconut oil?
2. Do you like coconut?
I have actually only recently started to get into coconut. I tried these mango coconut fruit snack things and actually really enjoyed them! Before then I had always thought I didn’t really like coconut but I will have to give it a second try!
I have never even seen coconut oil sold near me but I really want to try it!
Coconut is one of my absolute favorite flavors! Yum
I need to try coconut oil.
i love coconut! i mainly use coconut oil in cookies and in place of butta
Ok you’ll have to give me some ideas…I just won some coconut oil from a giveaway and really don’t even know how to begin using it!
I haven’t tried coconut oil, but I need to bite the bullet – it sounds great to use a replacement when cooking. Plus, coconut flavor. . . yum.
Ahh I used to use coconut oil in protein pancakes! SO yummy!! I also used it in baked goods in place of regular oil just to add a little hint of coconut… deeeelicious
Of course I broke my last jar and then tried to salvage it in a tupperware, but somehow a mold spore got into said tupperware and started to grow, so I had to trash the whole thing. TWELVE BUCKS in the garbage! Wah =(
I don’t really use coconut oil often, but I love coconut. I need to start using that stuff. Lately I’ve been loving the coconut peanut butter, which is basically coconut oil and peanut butter together, so I want to use it to make that! That would be awesome with these pancakes.
I have both coconut oil and butter in my pantry and I just do not use them enough. I am still a bit iffy with the saturated fat content even though I know it is fabulous for you! Dang, need to work on this
The saturated fat is mostly Lauric Acid, a medium-chain fatty acid, meaning the body doesn’t store it, but can convert to use as energy! So nothing to worry about!
I have never had coconut pancakes and now I just feel like I’ve been missing out all my life!
Yum! What kind of coconut milk do you like to use?
The boxed stuff in the fridge section of most grocery stores. Nothing too fancy. I forget who makes it exactly because I just ran out and can’t check haha!
Mmm these look really good. I haven’t been able to find coconut oil at my grocery store though. :/
These pancakes look so fantastic! I haven’t tried coconut oil on my feet yet, but I probably should because my feet are extremely dry! I like using coconut oil to make cookies, or a chocolate fudge!
If I liked coconut that would be completely delicious. However, I don’t.
But I’m sure it was fabulous just because you made it.
I am not a big fan of coconut, but those look good!
