Table of ContentsHomemade light and fluffy Pineapple Upside Down Pancakes for breakfast!
Everyone know’s how much I love breakfast food. Eggs, bacon, pancakes, waffles… You name it, I love it! As I mentioned before, I could seriously eat breakfast food all day, and not get tired of it. I’m the same way when it comes to desserts. If I could get away with eating cake all day, I probably would indulge. No joke!
Anyways, recently my husband and I went out for breakfast, and I spotted on of the most delightful things on the menu.. Pineapple Upside Down Pancakes! I could not believe it! Of course I had to order it. I mean come on, did you seriously think that I would pass up the opportunity to eat pineapple upside down pancakes? It’s like eating dessert for breakfast!
When I received the pancakes, this was my reaction on Instagram
They we’re good! I really liked them. I knew from jump that I wanted to recreate these pancakes. However, I wanted to make a couple of changes.
# 1Â Â Â The pancakes were good, however I don’t think it was made from scratch. Now this isn’t necessarily a deal breaker for me. However, I decided to make my own batter.
# 2Â Â The pineapple chunks were a little too big for me. I wanted to use crushed pineapple instead of huge chunks.
# 3Â Â Â I wanted the pancakes to taste more like pineapple upside down cake, therefore I made it sweeter, and added more vanilla extract with a dash of almond extract.
So after I played around in the kitchen, I came up with a recipe for homemade pineapple upside down pancakes. Believe it or not, these pancakes are SUPER easy to make. I think that they would be perfect for Easter or Christmas breakfast / brunch. Maybe even for Mother’s Day.
