Muffins make the best sort of grab-and-go breakfast meal. And it’s nice that they’re individually proportioned so you’re getting a treat but you don’t overdo it. You don’t see Pineapple Muffins for sale all that often unless you’re in a tropical place. If you enjoy pineapple, you’ll probably like having a little pineapple in this sweet muffin recipe.
Ingredients needed:
all-purpose flour granulated white sugar brown sugar baking powder cinnamon canned crushed pineapple egg milk butter
How to make Pineapple Muffins:
Drain an 8-ounce can of crushed pineapple, saving 1/4 cup of the juice and setting aside 2 tablespoons of the pineapple. Whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder and salt) in one bowl. In another bowl, combine the bulk of the pineapple, the pineapple juice, milk, egg and melted butter. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Scoop or spoon the batter into the muffin tin. Divide the batter evenly between 12 muffin cups. Spoon a little of the reserved pineapple on top of each cup of muffin batter. Combine the topping ingredients, and cut the butter in to create a crumbly mixture. Spoon the topping on each muffin cup. Bake 25 to 30 minutes- until cooked through.
The Best Muffin Pans:
The Wilton Perfect Results Muffin Pans are my favorite. The muffins pop right out of the pans without sticking. I have two of them, which can make 24 muffins or cupcakes. It’s completely up to you whether or not you’d like to use paper liners. NOTE: I use a springform scoop to evenly distribute the Pineapple Muffins batter into the muffin pans. It’s so easy to just scoop and release. There is less mess, and it’s easier to scoop the batter in there evenly so all of the muffins will be similar in size.
What’s the best way to store muffins?
Cool your Pineapple Muffins completely before storing them. Store muffins in a single layer in a sealed container or large zip baggie. Line the container or baggie with a paper towel before adding the muffins, and then put another paper towel on top of the muffins. Breads and muffins tend to release moisture as they age, so paper towels help to absorb that excess moisture. You definitely don’t want soggy muffins!
These Pineapple Muffins are delicious and tender muffins. The pineapple is such a delicious and different flavor for a muffin. They have a tropical vibe. You might also like to try my Orange Mini Muffins or my Lemon Pound Cake Muffins. Enjoy!
