Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Pineapple juice
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Orange juice
- 0.25 cup Candied orange peel (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with the pineapple juice. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Gently fold in the orange zest with a spatula, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the blossoms to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth to create the glaze.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled blossoms and garnish with candied orange peel, if desired.
Serve and enjoy your Pineapple Orange Blossoms with a refreshing beverage or as a bright afternoon treat!
