Holidays, Easter Buffet Station & Coconut Pancakes
I love to make things festive for holidays, and have been busy getting out carrots and bunnies
Pulling out seasonal decor can be a lot like getting a present, you open a box and there is that special something you totally forgot you had 😂
Like these carrots that I tied on to my cakedome to disguise the palm trees…
Coaster felt bunnies are guarding the jars of snacks on the island buffet
Seasonal dishes and serving pieces serve double duty, they add decor plus are handy for meals and snacks
Easter bash or not, you can whip up these coconut pancakes to make any morning feel like a special occasion
You can use a pancake mix or your favorite scratch recipe and substitute coconut milk, and add coconut extract and shreds to the batter
You can find my recipe below
You can serve the pancakes with maple syrup,
Blueberry or raspberry syrup
Coconut Syrup or Cream of Coconut, just a drizzle straight from the container is heaven
However you top them, you are in for a treat!
Coconut Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 cup canned coconut milk
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp coconut extract
- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 T sugar
- butter and oil for cooking
- 1/4 cup sweetened coconut shreds
- additional coconut for garnishing
- Syrup or Cream of Coconut for serving
Instructions
- Beat egg and combine with milks and coconut extract. In a large measuring cup or bowl with pour spout, combine dry ingredients and coconut shreds. Add milk mixture and stir until just combined. Do not over blend or pancakes will be rubbery.
- Melt 1 T butter over medium heat in large skillet and drizzle olive oil over the pan. Pour batter into hot pan making the pancakes the size you like. Let batter cook undisturbed until bubbles appear on the uncooked surface, 3-5 minutes. Carefully flip pancakes and cook 2-3 more minutes until golden.
- Serve pancakes immediately with additional butter, Cream of Coconut, Maple, Raspberry or Blueberry Syrup
Easy peasy!
Don’t worry if the batter is lumpy, that’s the coconut 🏝
If batter seems to thick, thin with additional coconut milk, milk or buttermilk
Enjoy!

Jenna, love your Easter buffet station with all your fun seasonal decor. I have collected so much through the years. Yum, the coconut pancakes would be fabulous with my coffee. This recipe is a must try! Have a wonderful Sunday!
Wow! This is such a bright, festive occasion! LOVE all the colors and I agree with the other comment – the pancakes would be delicious with black coffee. Happy Easter!
so festive indeed! Hoppy Easter Jenna!
Hi Jenna… I love all your darling bunny recipes. I wish I had some of those pancakes with my coffee this morning.
These look delish!! Did you make the bunny coaters? They are adorable!!
felt cut outs and pompoms from Target $ bin!
I loved it when you said it’s like opening a present as you find wonderful things you had forgotten! It’s all so pretty and feels so very cheery this Sunday morning!
haha, it took me a week to find the box of Easter things I had stashed away, it felt like Christmas when I found it! >
What a lovely Easter spread Those coconut pancakes look yummy. Have a great day
Coconut’s a favorite, they sound good:@)
Everything seems fun at your house Jenna and those coconut pancakes… Wow!
It’s always a fun party at your festive home, Jenna! I’m really love that bunny cake stand. Isn’t he the cutest? Oh, and those coconut pancakes….yum! I just bought a new container of cream of coconut for a cake that I make. I noticed that my container was almost empty. As it turns out, my son, who is living here with me, has been drizzling it over ice cream! LOL!! Now I’ll be dreaming of it drizzled over your coconut pancakes! Happy Easter week to you.
How fun! I love everything in your Easter set-up, down to the colorful flatware. It’s all perfect, and the pancakes look hoppy good!
I need to hurry up and make up my mind, but I’m toying with the idea of an Easter brunch instead of lunch. This may have helped me decide!!!
Love your bunny buffet Jenna the your coconut sprinkles of top of the pancakes look like a bunny tail! I know they’re a hit. Your designs are growing by leaps and bounds, hope you’re selling lots. 🙂
I must admit to having lots of those moments when I find something I forgot about. My kids say I have to much stuff that’s why I forget about it. Whatever the reason it is like opening a present. I am loving these pancakes! My family is not big on coconut but that means more for me. Thank you for sharing with us this week at Celebrate Your Story, have a great week and have a Happy Holiday.
Yep, I definitely have too much stuff, but it’s so hard to part with! Happy Easter Sandra! >
Everything looks so cute and the pancakes sound A-MAZING! 🙂
