Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar. Stir in the shredded coconut.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, coconut milk, rum extract, egg, and melted unsalted butter.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Gently fold the pineapple chunks into the batter.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour ¼ cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with maple syrup and garnished with maraschino cherries.
Tips
- For an extra tropical touch, you can also garnish with additional shredded coconut or a sprinkle of lime zest.
- If you prefer non-alcoholic, you can omit the rum extract.
