Orange Coconut Pancakes (Gluten Free)

This recipe was inspired by the Coconut Pancakes I had at The Amangani Hotel in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. After my effusive praise, the chef graciously agreed to share his recipe with me. Even though this recipe was delicious as is, I added some zest to it…orange zest, that is! Orange Coconut Pancakes with Orange-Infused Maple Syrup. Oh. So. Good!
