Note
Storage: Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven to restore crispiness.
Substitutions: You can substitute fresh pineapple chunks for canned, but you may need to reduce the cooking time for the syrup. Use coconut sugar instead of maple syrup for a different tropical flavor profile.
Tip: For extra crispy waffles, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking and ensure your waffle iron is fully preheated.
Variation: Add a dollop of coconut whipped cream or vegan yogurt for additional creaminess.
