Ingredients
Scale
For the Pancakes:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk (or non-dairy milk)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and chopped into small pieces
- 1/4 cup coconut milk (optional for extra tropical flavor)
For the Topping (optional):
- Fresh mango slices
- Maple syrup or honey
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Shredded coconut (optional)
- Mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
-
Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and coconut milk (if using) until well combined.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. If the batter seems too thick, add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Gently fold in the chopped mango pieces into the batter.
-
Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface of the pancake. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
-
Serve:
- Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with fresh mango slices, a drizzle of maple syrup or honey, whipped cream, shredded coconut, or mint leaves, if desired.
Notes
- Ripeness of Mango: Use ripe, sweet mango for the best flavor. If your mango is a little too firm, you can soften it by microwaving it for a few seconds or leaving it at room temperature for a couple of days.
- For Extra Flavor: Add a touch of coconut extract or a sprinkle of toasted coconut on top of the pancakes for more tropical flavor.
- Make Ahead: You can make the batter ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good stir before using.
- Vegan Option: To make these pancakes vegan, substitute the egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tbsp water), and use plant-based milk and butter.
