Preparation

Preparing the Pancake Batter

Combine dry ingredients

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

Mix wet ingredients

In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in milk and melted peanut butter until smooth.

💡 Pro Tip: Blend a bit of the pineapple juice into the batter for extra flavor and moistness.

Combine wet and dry

Combine wet and dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Some lumps are okay.

⚠ Important: Do not overmix the batter, or your pancakes will be tough.

Preparing the Pineapple Topping

Melt butter

Melt butter in a pan over medium heat.

Cook pineapple chunks

Add pineapple chunks and cook for 3-4 minutes until they start to caramelize.

Add honey

Stir in honey and cook for another 2 minutes.

Cooking Process

Cook the pancakes

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour the batter onto the griddle, using approximately ¼ cup for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Caramelize the pineapple

Keep the heat medium to gently caramelize the pineapple without burning.

Assemble and serve

Stack pancakes, layer with pineapple topping, and sprinkle with toasted peanuts.
