Pineapple Pancakes Recipe
These pineapple pancakes are fluffy, sweet, and with a hint of tropical flavors like pineapple and coconut.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 ½ cups crushed pineapple, fresh or canned (drained and unsweetened)
- 3-4 tablespoon white granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cup all purpose flour, or gluten free blend with xanthan gum
- 2 teaspoon baking powder, sifted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda, sifted
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup olive , or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract , or ½ teaspoon vanilla paste
- ¼ cup milk, lactose-free or almond milk
- 2 tablespoon or more coconut flakes, optional
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly before adding them to the dry ingredients.
- Lightly spray the pan with oil, although if using good nonstick pan/griddle you may not need it. Pour the batter onto a nonstick pan in heaping ¼ cup scoops.
- Be sure to adjust the heat temperature accordingly (medium-low).
- Cook until bubbles start to form on the surface, then gently flip them over.
NOTES
- For the topping - Coconut Caramel Sauce
- Pineapple - use crushed pineapple or fruit puree for the best results. I like to pulse crushed pineapple or pineapple chunks in food processor until smoother consistency.
- Sugar - If not using any sweet sauce on top then feel free to increase sugar to 5 tablespoons or you could use honey, agave syrup as a sweetener. I haven’t tried coconut sugar as a sub, but I think it should work perfectly here.
A quick note, when I’m making these for my toddler, I always add very little sugar if any at all, top up with butter and a little drizzle of honey and he loves these just like that + it is healthier this way! - Coconut flakes - this step is optional but adds a little extra texture and coconut flavor. Try toasted coconut flakes instead of regular :)
Baking powder and soda - always check the expiration date, as with an old expired baking powder and baking soda you may end up with flat pancakes instead. - The batter - should be thick enough that it drips rather than slides off the spoon. If your pancakes seem to be flat, add more flour and try again. If still no change, the issue may be in your baking powder, soda.
- Eggs - always room temperature for better blending results.
