Coconut Macadamia Nut Waffles

Monday, October 4, 2010
For us this is a fabulous waffle recipe, not only are the memories of these and our trip last long in our mind, but the smell lingers in your home while they're cooking!

A few years ago, my husband and I were lucky enough to take our second trip to Hawaii. Every morning at breakfast we had these waffles with fresh coconut syrup.

I have tried to recreate the recipe for years now and have never been able to master this one until now.

It's a little effort but well worth it! If you love coconut and macadamia nuts, this one's for you...The longer you cook these the crispier they will be. If you like soft, then don't overcook them.

Hawaiian Style Waffles, coconut syrup, macadamia, and coconut takes you right to any Island in Hawaii in taste.


Just scroll down to get this delicious homemade macadamia nut waffle with homemade coconut syrup and take a journey of flavors from Hawaii in your own kitchens!

Waffles in Hawaii



Having breakfast in Hawaii for us was like a dream come true paradise but the flavors of the Maui macadamia nuts, freshly grated coconut just put you in a warm delicious place on this trip.


They still taste the same with this recipe but of course, the atmosphere is missing.

Recreating wonderful vacation food was the first on my agenda when we got back home to Florida.


They reheated perfectly in the air fryer or toaster oven!


We actually use Homemade Italian Loose Sausage or Pork breakfast Sausage as a side dish unlike Spam which is huge there on the menu.
