  • Be sure to use well-drained crushed pineapple for the waffles, otherwise your batter may be too wet.
  • Toasted macadamia nuts will add a nice crunch and flavor to the waffles.

  • Substitute coconut milk for regular milk to make the waffles dairy-free. The benefit of this substitution is that it will make the waffles suitable for those who are lactose intolerant or vegan.
  • Substitute honey for the corn syrup to make the waffles healthier. The benefit of this substitution is that honey is a natural sweetener that is less processed and contains fewer calories than corn syrup.

Tropical Waffles Substitute the pineapple juice for orange juice and the macadamia nuts for walnuts. Use 1/4 cup of mango, diced, in place of the pineapple and 1/4 cup of shredded coconut (unsweetened).



Coconut Rice: A light and fluffy coconut rice dish that pairs perfectly with the Hawaiian Waffles. The sweetness of the coconut rice complements the sweetness of the waffles, while the nutty flavor of the macadamia nuts adds a nice crunchy texture to the meal.


Macadamia Nut Pancakes: Macadamia nut pancakes are the perfect accompaniment to the coconut rice and Hawaiian waffles. The rich and nutty flavor of the macadamia nuts pairs wonderfully with the sweetness of the waffles and the coconut rice, and the pancakes provide a nice contrast in texture. The pancakes are also quick and easy to make, making them an ideal choice for a delicious and complete breakfast.
