Pina Colada Pancakes
It is kind of amazing how the weather can influence everything about you. It can alter your mood, the colors you wear, the decor in your house, and, of course, what foods you crave.
This past weekend started as very blustery and cold. Saturday morning, I woke up to snow on the ground! I craved a bowl of warm oatmeal for breakfast and sat in front of the fireplace huddled in a blanket, sipping coffee. Gradually, the weather started to change, and by Sunday, I had the windows open! The burst of slightly warmer weather has made me crave spring. I want sunshine and tropical flavors and to dress in pastels.
My longing for warmth prompted these Pina Colada Pancakes. I love the flavors of pineapple and coconut together. It is one of my favorite combinations, and there isn’t a better way to start the day than with a big stack of pancakes!
These are really easy to throw together and have mostly cabinet staples you probably already have on hand. I love making a batch of pancakes to keep on hand for quick weekday breakfasts!
One thing is for sure, these Pina Colada Pancakes help make Monday feel a little less like a Monday.

This made 12 large pancakes for me.
I LOVE this, Annie! I have never had Pina Colada Pancakes, but I am going to remedy that tragedy this weekend! And congrats to you on your anniversary!
Thank you so much friend! 🙂
These pancakes make me long for tropical weather and locale right now. These pancakes make me forget about winter!
Don’t you wish you were on the beach eating a stack of these?! 🙂
Now I want a pina colada! This are the perfect breakfast get-away when you can’t get away
Thanks Jessica! 🙂
What a creative pancake, Annie! I love the pina colada flavors in here. This would definitely help break me out of my winter funk! Sounds delish!
Thanks Gayle!
We have a snow day tomorrow morning here in NJ and I am absolutely making these for my family. They’re going to love them. Thanks for sharing Annie. I am really bad at making pancakes, do you have nay tricks you use for not burning them?
Okay, I didn’t really know if it was just my stove top or what but I used to burn pancakes all the time too! Now I heat my skillet to medium heat, then reduce to to medium low and cook them. I just thought my stove top got too hot? Maybe try that! 🙂 Also, I cooked these in canola oil, but you can try coconut oil and they make the outsides and edges a little crispy, kind of like fritters. SO good! 🙂
This is so super duper creative! Nothing to bring you out of the winter blues than some summery and tropical pancakes! 🙂 I also second what Kathy said: pancake making tips?! I’m literally awful at making them.
Medha your so sweet! Check out my response to Kathy, I hope it helps! 🙂
The weather has been kinda crazy here too lately! One day it is raining and cold the next day it is 70 degrees! I’m getting scared that our winter is over and it will be hot out before I know it. No matter the weather, I always crave pancakes and the pina colada kick would be perfect for the weather we are having 🙂
I am not really eager for summer, but I am ready for nice breezy springtime weather! 🙂
What a great idea Annie! I love this, pina colada pancakes sounds like the best idea for a taste of spring!
Thanks Stacey! I love anything tropical! 🙂
Yum! These sound like a tropical getaway! 🙂 Love the idea of mixing in crushed pineapple!
Pina colada flavoured pancakes? Now this is MY kind of breakfast!
Why don’t we all start every day with Pina Colada Pancakes?! I have been asking myself that question all week! 🙂
