    • Sprinkle some brown sugar on top of pineapple slices.
    • Flip them.
    • Cook from other side as well until pineapples get caramelized from both sides. Keep aside.

    MAKING OF BATTER

    • Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar, salt, pineapple essence and coconut oil in a bowl.
    • Gradually add milk and keep mixing.
    • Get a thick yet flowing consistency of batter.

    MAKING OF PANCAKES

    • Apply some coconut oil on non stick pan or tawa.
    • Spread a bit of batter.
    • Let it firm up for a minute.
    • Then place a caramelized slice of pineapple.
    • Put a piece of glazed cherry in the middle hole of slice. (This step is optional).
    • Let the batter turn full firm.
    • Sprinkle bit of coconut oil over the top.
    • Flip the pancake.
    • Cook from both the sides until brown.
    • Enjoy hot after drizzling maple or dates syrup.

    Notes

    • If you don't have pineapple essence, you can use vanilla essence.
    • For intense pineapple flavour, you can reduce the quantity of milk and balance that portion with pineapple juice.
    • Glazed cherries in the middle of totally optional, but they will give a beautiful look to your pancakes.
    • For vegetarians, coconut oil and oats milk can be replaced with butter and regular milk respectively.
