Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 pieces Eggs, large
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Crushed pineapple (canned, drained, reserve juice)
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 cup Powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Reserved pineapple juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini cupcake pan with 24 paper liners or grease the wells if not using liners.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the crushed pineapple and milk to the wet ingredients and mix until evenly incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Spoon the batter into the prepared mini cupcake wells, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
While the cupcakes cool, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and reserved pineapple juice in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, spoon a small amount of glaze over each cupcake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
Let the glaze set for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy your miniature pineapple cupcakes!
