The pancakes were good, but the coconut flavor was a little more subtle than I'd have liked. I didn't bother with the compote because I didn't want to spend so much time preparing breakfast and we didn't have half the ingredients. I did chop up raw almonds and sprinkle them onto the pancakes after pouring the batter onto the hot griddle. This added a bit more flavor and gave us more protein for the meal.

The compote is a delicious topping for pancakes, French toast, or oatmeal. It keeps well in the refrigerator for several days.

Preparation
- To prepare compote, combine first 7 ingredients in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and cook 8 minutes or until fruit is tender. Combine cornstarch, 1 tablespoon water, and lime juice in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk; stir into fruit mixture; bring to a boil. Cook 1 minute or until slightly thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
- To prepare pancakes, lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. Combine flours, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Combine coconut milk, fat-free milk, oil, and egg in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add milk mixture to flour mixture, stirring with a whisk (batter will be thick).
- Pour about 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto a hot nonstick griddle or nonstick skillet; spread gently with a spatula. Cook 2 minutes or until tops are covered with bubbles and edges looked cooked. Carefully turn pancakes over; cook for 2 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Serve with the compote.
