Creating Sweet Coconut Cream Pancakes is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Pan: Start by preheating a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the coconut milk, egg, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t worry about lumps; it’s better not to overmix.
5. Add Coconut: Gently fold in the shredded coconut, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the preheated skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Flip: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until they are golden brown.
8. Repeat: Continue with the remaining batter, adjusting the skillet’s heat as needed.
9. Serve Warm: Keep the cooked pancakes warm in a low oven if desired while you finish the batch.

With these clear steps, you’ll be ready to serve up a stack of these delicious pancakes in no time!
