Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Pineapple, crushed with juice
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well-mixed.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the crushed pineapple with its juice, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix. If desired, fold in the shredded coconut for added texture.
Evenly divide the batter among the muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
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 pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy the tropical flavors of Hawaii with every bite!
