After a trip to Punta Cana, I was inspired to modify my favorite waffle recipe by substituting coconut milk for the milk and coconut extract for the vanilla. It added a subtle flavoring without altering the texture of the recipe. I love making this for overnight house guests and serving it with tropical fruit sprinkled with shredded coconut for a breakfast outside in the summer. It is very easy, delicious and gets rave reviews everytime. It would make a perfect Mother’s Day breakfast!
COCONUT WAFFLES
2 c flour
1 tsp salt
4 t baking powder
2 T sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 c coconut milk
1/3 c unsalted butter, melted
1/2 t coconut extract (you can substitute rum extract to make pina colada waffles)
1- Combine all dry ingredients.
2- Mix together eggs, milk, butter and extract.
3- Incorporate the dry ingredients to the egg mixture.
4- Laddle onto a hot waffle iron until puffed up and golden.
5- Serve with fresh fruit and sprinkle shredded coconut on top. I used mango, peach, blueberry, blackberry and kiwi. Serve maple syrup on the side.

Hi, Johanne! I love waffles! Had some this morning, in fact. And yesterday morning! I make up the dry ingredients in large batches and store it in the pantry so that all I have to do is add the wet ingredients. I’ve never tried coconut waffles, but they sound and look wonderful! You so artfully applied the fruit!!! I would’ve just tossed it on there and said, “Eat it, or go on to the McDonald’s down the street to see if you can do better!” 🙂
I want to acknowledge how much I like your black wicker with the black & white striped cushion. Very chic!
Have a happy Mother’s Day weekend!
That black wicker with black and white cushions would look great with your cherry table setting! Very FRENCH, I think! :)))) If you love coconut and waffles, this will be a dish made in heaven! I doubt you throw anything together Alycia! Happy Mother’s Day weekend to you. Hope the extreme weather in KC has passed.
