This post is sponsored in conjunction with #BrunchWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the #Brunchweek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.
This brunch treat is a combo of two of my favorites: fluffy buttermilk pancakes and gooey pineapple upside down cake! Pineapple Upside Down Pancakes are sure to be a hit at your next brunch. No syrup needed, these cakes are delicious on their own!
I was so excited to receive these LorAnn Bakery Emulsions to use for my BrunchWeek recipes!
A baking emulsion is a flavor suspended in a base containing mostly water. In contrast, baking extracts are flavors suspended in a base containing mostly alcohol. LorAnn Bakery Emulsions are not compromised by the flavor of alcohol and don’t “bake-out” when exposed to heat like an extract flavor.
For this recipe I use the Butter Vanilla flavor to add another layer of richness to these tasty pancakes.

Add 1-2 tsp {depending on the strength of flavor you want}
of butter vanilla flavored emulsion to a bowl of pancake batter.
Whisk well and set aside.

Heat over med low heat and coat the skillet with non stick spray.
Sprinkle pineapple slice with brown sugar.
Place pineapple ring sugar side down in the heated skillet.
Add the half cherry to the middle of the pineapple.
Pour 1/4 cup pancake batter on top of the pineapple ring to form a pancake.
Sprinkle brown sugar on top of pancake while it cooks.
