Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups brown sugar, packed
- 1 cups canned crushed pineapple (including juice)
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cups whole milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease them lightly with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
In a medium bowl, mix the crushed pineapple (with its juice), melted butter, vanilla extract, eggs, and milk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should still have some lumps.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 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 the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
