Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Canned crushed pineapple (drained)
- 0.5 cups Sour cream
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 units Large eggs
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained crushed pineapple, sour cream, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended.
Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few small lumps.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
If desired, sprinkle a light pinch of brown sugar over the top of each muffin for a sweet, caramelized topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
