Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and baking powder. Mix well to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the egg, Greek yogurt, and buttermilk until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold to combine. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Add the melted coconut oil to the batter and stir gently until just incorporated.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease lightly with a small amount of coconut oil.
- Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil to the skillet as needed.
- While the pancakes are cooking, prepare the berries. Wash the raspberries and blueberries. Hull and slice the strawberries.
- Stack the pancakes on plates and top each stack generously with the mixed berries.
- Optionally, drizzle with a little extra melted coconut oil or maple syrup for added sweetness.

Coconut pancakes with berries FAQ:
Each pancake typically takes about 2-3 minutes per side to cook. Watch for bubbles forming on the surface and edges that start to set before flipping.

Yes, you can substitute self-raising flour with all-purpose flour and add 1 tsp of baking powder for each cup of flour used.
You can substitute Greek yogurt with sour cream or a non-dairy yogurt if you prefer a dairy-free option.
Pancakes are fully cooked when they are golden brown on both sides and spring back when lightly pressed. The internal temperature should reach 190°F (88°C).
Tips:
- Ensure your pan is adequately heated before cooking the pancakes to achieve a perfect golden-brown finish.
- Use fresh berries for the best flavor and texture, though frozen berries can be used if fresh ones are not available.
- Whisk the batter just until the ingredients are combined; over-mixing can result in dense pancakes.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking to allow the baking powder to activate, ensuring fluffier pancakes.
- Try adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for an extra flavor boost.
- If the batter seems too thick, you can thin it out with a bit more buttermilk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Serve the pancakes immediately after cooking to enjoy them at their fluffiest. If you need to keep them warm, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet in a low oven (around 200°F or 90°C).
