🥘 Ingredients

8 items

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cups canned crushed pineapple (with juice)
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

3. In a separate medium bowl, mix the crushed pineapple (with its juice), melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and evenly blended.

4. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it.

5. Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy.

6. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

8. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them 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 Simple Pineapple Muffins!
