In a large saucepan, combine the first 5 ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, until sauce begins to thicken, 12-15 minutes; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Combine egg yolks, milk and butter; stir into dry ingredients just until combined. Stir in pineapple, coconut and nuts. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; fold into batter (batter will be thick).
Preheat waffle maker. Fill and bake according to manufacturer's directions. Serve with pineapple sauce and additional nuts if desired.

Not sure what happened with the other reviewer, but this turned out wonderfully fluffy and I made the recipe as is. The crunch of the macadamia nuts was a wonderful surprise. This was a hit with the family.

Oh helllll naaaaaaahhhh. Waffle batter should never be "firm". I made this sounded delicious. But i added 1 more cup of milk when i realized it was horribly firm. And the waffles STILL ended up nearly HARD. SO the flavor was amazing but u must tinker with this recipe. do not indulge as is. Idk what the author was thinking. They may have forgotten a key ingredient such as OIL or WATER but i am VERY DISAPPOINTED

These were so fantastic -- sweet, flavorful, easy -- thanks for such a fun alternative to regular waffles!

ince I already had commercially made pineapple ice cream topping in the fridge, I didn't make the topping listed, just added coconut to ours. Due to nut allergies, I subbed rice krispies for the nuts. They give a nutty flavor and crunch. I made Belgian waffles, and got 4 nice sized ones.

These waffles were awesome! My husband loved them! I am not a fan of flaked coconut, so I substituted 1/4 cup cream of coconut instead and they were perfect!
