Easy Pineapple Topping
  1. I would make this topping before you make the batter, so that it has time to become a lovely glazed pineapple sauce! Just drain off a can of pineapple tidbits, canned in its own juice. Reserve the juice to use in the pancakes and you can just drink the rest!
  2. In a small pot, combine the pineapple, brown sugar, and butter. Allow to cook until a syrup has formed and the tidbits are glazed and golden. Set aside to serve warm on the pancakes, as desired.
Pancakes
  1. In a bowl, stir together the flour, potato starch, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, pineapple juice, maple syrup and vanilla. Mix to combine.
  3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix to combine and not too lumpy. It doesn’t have to be a smooth batter. Let batter sit for few minutes for fluffiness.
  4. Heat a non-stick pan and spray a little oil to ensure success! If you are using the rings, make sure you spray them, too. Have the heat at a medium low, as you want to make sure the pancake cooks through without burning on the surface. Adjust as needed.
  5. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter into each ring and let cook until the edges start to look dry and bubbles have formed. Carefully check to see that the bottom is a golden brown. These take longer to cook using the rings than ordinary pancakes but they are so fluffy!
  6. Before you flip the pancakes over, sprinkle some sweetened shredded coconut and/or some coconut that you have roasted in the oven for a few minutes, until lightly browned. I sprinkled about 2 teaspoons per pancake, but adjust for preference.
  7. Continue cooking the pancake until the bottom is well browned. Repeat until all pancakes are cooked. I recommend respraying the pan and rings to avoid sticking.
  8. Plate the pancakes, pour the glazed pineapple tidbits over the pancakes and sprinkle with a little more coconut! Enjoy!
Recipe Notes

These are wonderful when fresh but, if there are any leftovers, these thick pancakes toast up so well!
