Macadamia Nut Pancakes Recipe (2024)

Macadamia Nut Pancakes, are about to change your life. It's like breakfast on the island, except you are in your home, and most likely not in a swimsuit. If you are a nut or pancake lover, you have to give this recipe a try.

On our last trip to Kauai, my husband and I finally tried some macadamia nut pancakes – and I DON’T KNOW WHY WE WAITED SO LONG.

I have never had such an amazing pancake in my life. The sauce that they generously put on top, drips through all the pancakes, and leaves every bite tasting absolutely amazing.

It makes me salivate, just thinking about them. They are so delicious. I couldn’t live my life, knowing I may never have one again so I decided I was going to create a recipe, just like it.

I’ve been craving them since the minute we got back to the mainland, so I finally threw these together.

They did not disappoint. All that’s missing are the sandy beaches and breathtaking views.

If you like macadamia nuts, you are going to LOVE these.

Tips for making Macadamia Nut Pancakes:

Heating your griddle to the correct temperature is crucial. If it’s too hot, the outsides will burn and the middle will be dry.

If the pan or griddle is too cold, the pancakes won’t cook evenly.

The secret temperature is 350 degrees F., when it comes to pancakes. You should also wait for the griddle to be heated, before adding your batter.

If you try to cook it, before it reaches it’s correct temperature, you are going to ruin the fluffy texture of the pancake. Temperature is everything when it comes to baking pancakes.

Spray your griddle with non stick cooking spray, just to help ensure your pancake doesn’t stick to the pan.

Watch your pancakes as you are cooking them. Make sure that the pancakes are golden brown when flipping. You don’t want to overcook or under cook them, and cook time varies depending on the size of the pancake.

HOW TO MAKE COCONUT SYRUP

Step 1: In a saucepan (over no heat – We recommend using a new pan for this syrup), whisk together coconut milk and cornstarch until smooth

Step 2: Turn the heat to medium, then slowly whisk in sugar, salt, corn syrup, and shredded coconut. Stir continuously until the mixture starts to thicken (almost boiling).

Step 3: Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and coconut flavoring. The syrup will continue to thicken as it cools.
