To make these delicious pancake rolls, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut (for garnish)
- Syrup for drizzling
How to Make Sweet Coconut Pancake Rolls
Follow these steps to create your Sweet Coconut Pancake Rolls:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter should be smooth and slightly thick.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with a little oil or butter.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet, spreading it into a thin circle. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Once all pancakes are cooked, place a pancake on a flat surface and spread a tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk evenly over it.
- Roll the pancake tightly from one end to the other, creating a roll. Repeat with the remaining pancakes.
- Arrange the rolled pancakes on a serving plate, drizzle with syrup, and sprinkle with shredded coconut for garnish.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your skillet is adequately heated before pouring in the batter to achieve a perfect golden color.
- Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay for fluffy pancakes.
- Experiment with the filling by adding flavors like cocoa powder or a hint of lime zest for a twist.
Easy Variations
- For a chocolate version, add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the batter.
- Swap out the sweetened condensed milk for a cream cheese filling mixed with a bit of sugar and vanilla.
- Add fresh fruit slices, like bananas or mango, inside the rolls for added sweetness and texture.
What to Serve With It
To complement your Sweet Coconut Pancake Rolls, consider serving them with:
- Fresh fruit salad

- A scoop of vanilla ice cream
- A sprinkle of toasted nuts
