Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and rolled oats.
-
Cut the 2/3 cup of margarine into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Add the egg to the mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.
-
Drain the pineapple chunks well to remove excess juice.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the softened margarine (2 tablespoons), brown sugar, nutmeg, and shredded coconut to create the filling mixture.
-
Divide the dough into 16 equal portions and roll each into a small ball.
-
Flatten each dough ball slightly and place a spoonful of the pineapple and coconut mixture in the center.
-
Wrap the dough around the filling to seal it, then insert a popsicle stick into the bottom of each pastry.
-
Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Note
Ensure the pineapple chunks are thoroughly drained to prevent the pastry dough from becoming soggy.
You can substitute the margarine with butter for a richer flavor, though this will make the recipe non-vegan if you also use egg. For a vegan version, use a flax egg substitute and vegan margarine.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in a toaster oven for best texture.
The "2 1/4 cup" quantity for pineapple likely refers to the volume of chunks from a standard 20 oz can after draining. Adjust based on the size of your pastries.
