A decadent breakfast option that won't break the calorie bank!
Pancakes have been a breakfast staple in our homes for years, and for a good reason! They’re easy to make and absolutely delicious. As if traditional pancakes weren’t tasty enough, we’ve created a new recipe that will blow your mind! These Pina Colada Pancakes with Rum Syrup will transport your taste buds to the islands without leaving your kitchen. Don’t believe us? Just try them for yourself!
When Cocktails and Pancakes Collide
While these fruity pancakes are kid-friendly, it’s important to note that the delightful rum syrup is meant for adults only. The kiddos will still go crazy over pineapple-infused flapjacks, and they taste just as yummy with regular maple syrup. You can also leave the rum out of the recipe if you’re avoiding alcohol.
These Pina Colada Pancakes are So Easy to Make
Truth be told, these pancakes are no more difficult to make than the classic version. They just require a couple more ingredients! To make the batter, you’ll combine the flour, baking powder, brown sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Once the batter is prepared, cook these pancakes as you normally would with one exception. Before you flip the pancakes, sprinkle a little bit of crushed pineapple on top of each flapjack so it can soak into the batter.
Coconut Rum Syrup Elevates the Dish
While your pancakes are cooking to perfection, prepare the decadent, adult-only syrup. In a separate saucepan, combine the coconut milk, maple syrup, and rum. The syrup only needs to simmer for about three minutes. Once it’s thickened and your pancakes are a beautiful golden brown, it’s time to plate this island-inspired breakfast!
Pour the coconut syrup over each serving of pancakes, and feel free to top them with a little extra pineapple if you have it. If you ask me, the more fruit the better!
