For 4 servings
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and sweetened shredded coconut until well combined. This ensures the leavening agents are evenly distributed.
In a separate medium bowl, lightly beat the egg. Then, whisk in the full-fat coconut milk, 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil, and the vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently fold them together until just combined. The batter should be lumpy; do not overmix. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the gluten to relax and the baking powder to activate.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of coconut oil to grease the surface. You'll know it's ready when a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly.
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear dry and set.
Flip the pancakes carefully with a thin spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the other side is golden brown and the pancake is cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil to the griddle as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes immediately while warm. Stack them on a plate and garnish with toasted coconut flakes, fresh berries, or sliced banana, and drizzle generously with maple syrup.
