Fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth pineapple pancakes drizzled with a deliciously sweet coconut syrup!
Transport yourself to a tropical vacation for breakfast with these pina colada pancakes! There is no better way to start the day than with the yummy flavor combination of pineapple and coconut.
And since this week's #SundaySupper theme is coconut in honor of National Pina Colada Day, I couldn't resist creating a delicious and hearty morning treat reminiscent of an island getaway.
I have used various fruits in pancakes in the past, they add lots of natural flavor and a nice, moist texture. However, I had never used pineapple before this recipe, and was happy to discover that it made the pancakes fluffy yet tender, with just a hint of sweet and tart.
Then I topped them with the deliciously coconut-y syrup and - viola! - a vacation on a plate!

Pina Colada Pancakes
Ingredients
For the pancakes:
- 3 cups white whole wheat flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sweetener or sugar
- 2 cups milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 6 ounces pina colada yogurt (1 container)
- 20 ounces crushed pineapple (1 can)
For the syrup:
- 13.5 ounces coconut milk (1 can)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
Instructions
Pancakes:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, canola oil, vanilla extract, and yogurt. Add crushed pineapple and mix thoroughly.
- Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix together (result will be slightly lumpy).
- Spray a griddle with cooking spray and heat over medium. Pour a scant 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake.
- Cook until edges start to look dry and the pancakes start to bubble. Then flip and cook on the other side.
Syrup:

- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes.
