Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Light brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 items Eggs, large
• 0.75 cups Milk (whole or 2%)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Diced fresh pineapple
• 0.5 cups Shredded coconut, unsweetened
• 0.5 cups Chopped toasted almonds

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk well to combine and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

Fold the diced pineapple, shredded coconut, and chopped toasted almonds into the batter using a spatula. Distribute these add-ins evenly throughout the mixture.

Step 6

Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm for a cozy breakfast or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
