🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup canned crushed pineapple in juice (not drained)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.

2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned crushed pineapple (with its juice), brown sugar, applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the wet ingredients are fully incorporated.

4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy but well combined.

5. If desired, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.

6. Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

8. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Pineapple Oatmeal Muffins as a snack or a wholesome breakfast option!
