Put the self-raising flour, caster sugar, baking powder and two-and-a-half tablespoons of the toasted coconut in a bowl and stir until combined.

In a jug, whisk together the coconut milk drink (we used Alpro) and the egg. Add the dry ingredients to the jug and whisk until just combined. Set aside.

Mist a large pan with calorie controlled cooking spray and put over a medium heat. Pour one-eighth of the batter into the pan, swirl the pan to spread out the mixture, then cook for two to three minutes until the pancake starts to set on top and holes appear. Flip over and cook for a further two minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat to make eight pancakes.

Stack two pancakes on top of each other and top with some of the yogurt and fruit, together with a sprinkle from the remaining toasted coconut and finish with a sprinkle of the toasted coconut.
