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

  1. 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).
  2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:

    • In another bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and coconut milk (if using) until well combined.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
