📝 Preparation Steps
1
Add Pineapple Coconut Syrup ingredients to a medium saucepan. Cook over medium high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil. As soon as mixture boils, reduce heat to medium low and simmer for ⏱️ 10-15 minutes, uncovered, or until it thickens into syrup consistency, stirring occasionally. Syrup will continue to thicken as it cools. Set aside. (Note: Syrup bubbles up quite high while cooking)

Meanwhile, dry roast macadamia nuts (for waffles and topping) in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally until toasted. Remove to a cutting board (or food processor) and chop when cool enough to handle. Don’t skip this step – this MAKES the macadamia nuts!

Mix the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix the wet ingredients in another medium bowl, stirring in the pineapple last. Gently whisk wet and dry ingredients together until barely combined. It will have a "pebbled" look. Add additional coconut milk if consistency is too thick (will depend on coconut milk you use).
