Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cups Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cups Melted unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cups Crushed pineapple, drained
- 0.75 cups Chopped macadamia nuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the Greek yogurt, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
Fold in the drained crushed pineapple and chopped macadamia nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of one muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
