Magic Pancakes

Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl.

In a separate, larger bowl (I used my stand mixer bowl), mix vanilla extract, egg, and buttermilk. Stir until ingredients are combined. Add dry mixture and mix until everything is well incorporated. Then fold in the chocolate, coconut and pecans. Stir lightly.

Heat a large skillet or griddle to medium heat. Add coconut oil and spread it around on the pan. When oil is melted, use a 1/4 cup measuring cup or ice cream scoop to add batter into your skillet, leaving space between each scoop (you’ll need to do this in batches). Wait 2-3 minutes or until you see little bubbles forming on the batter. Then flip pancake and cook until the other side is golden brown. Remove the cooked pancakes to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter.

Note: I started with 1 cup of buttermilk, but after 3 or 4 pancakes I felt like the batter was too thick so I added about 1/3 cup more.
