Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
• 0.5 cup pineapple juice
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup crushed pineapple, drained
• 2 tablespoons dark rum
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for the sauce)
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup toasted coconut (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the coconut milk, pineapple juice, egg, and melted butter until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Fold in shredded coconut and drained crushed pineapple to the pancake batter.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.

Step 6

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 8

To make the rum sauce, combine dark rum, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, and heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Step 9

Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

Step 10

Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with rum sauce, and garnish with toasted coconut if desired.
