Jason's Coconut Pancakes

1 can good-quality coconut milk (14 oz./398-400 ml)
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
2 eggs
1 1/2 tbsp honey (or I also tried molasses)
2 tbsp coconut oil OR butter, melted
1 1/2 cups kamut, spelt or buckwheat (gluten free) flour
1/2 tsp salt
oil for frying


Mix the shredded coconut, flour and salt together in a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine the coconut milk, eggs, honey and coconut oil. Stir the wet ingredients in with the dry, and mix until most of the lumps are gone. Don't worry about getting the batter perfectly smooth, it will still be yummy!

Heat the skillet to medium heat with a little bit of oil. Once heated, scoop the batter into the skillet with a large spoon. Cook the pancakes until the batter starts to bubble, then flip to cook the other side, until golden brown.

Enjoy!!
