Excellent flavor! It didn't even need syrup! Here's what I did though: omitted the coconut milk (stop, I know that's lame) but I wanted them lighter--so I used 1% milk. THen I sprinkled the batter with coconut (can stir in too). I used fresh pineapple... I had some extra so I sauteed it in 1T browned butter and 1T brown sugar...OMG that was amazing on top of these! The butter and sugar mixed perfectly with the juices from the pineapple to create just enough of a syrup. Wow--this was a great recipe! I didn't have any issue with "sour" tasting--was your sour cream expired?? Yum! This is a favorite!!

Four stars just because the coconut flavor was soo subtle that I almost couldn't taste it. So I sprinkled shredded coconut on top and that did the trick. Next time I will just add in 1/4 cup or so of shredded coconut to the batter. They have potential and they did bring a different flavor to the breakfast table.

I took these waffles to a luau we were having, and they were a hit! I made a double batch which made quite a few waffles, and everyone snapped them up until they were gone. After reading some of the other reviews, I made a few changed to the recipe: I only used half of the sour cream, and doubled the coconut milk. This way they weren't sour at all and the coconut taste was great! I also just used canned crushed pineapple and it worked just fine. Thanks for the great recipe!

I thought these were very good waffles - the only change I made was that I used light sour cream. This was a popular recipe with my husband, and it's a good brunch item for company. This recipe is a keeper.

This recipe was disappointing. With all the fat in the ingredients, I was expecting a butt kicking, irresistable good waffle, and it was alright. Next time, I will go with Mom's Waffles, and cut the fat by just adding some crushed pineapple and coconut extract.

These we good. I used canned crushed pineapple. I added 1 tsp of coconut extract, I only had 1/2 cup sourcream so I added 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt to make a full cup. My batter seemed a little thick (but not bad) so I added a little extra coconut milk. We ate these topped with whipped cream and syrup, and sliced bananas on the side. I like the other persons suggestion of adding chopped macadamia nuts to the batter, it woiuld probably be good.

The flavor was Sooooo good. Indescribable with maple syrup. As usual, I made a bunch of changes. Wheat flour, flax seed, random ingredients like that, loose measuring... So don't blame my comments on the recipe... But it didn't smell great while baking, and the waffles weren't crispy from the belgian waffler. Still, the flavor was so excellent that the waffles are irrestible. Fresh or reheated.
