Step 1
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Pour in the coconut milk, eggs, and oil, then stir everything until just combined. Gently fold in the pineapple and banana, being careful not to overmix.

Next, melt the brown sugar and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the pineapple tidbits along with a tablespoon of the reserved pineapple juice. Let it come to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

How to serve
Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey for extra sweetness. Add a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes to enhance the tropical feel. Fresh berries or sliced bananas also make great accompaniments.
