Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup crushed pineapple (with juice)
• 0.75 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon dark rum (optional)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons toasted coconut (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the crushed pineapple (with juice), unsweetened shredded coconut, plain Greek yogurt, melted unsalted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and dark rum (if using). Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.

Step 5

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

Step 6

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

Step 7

Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Once cooled, lightly dust the tops with powdered sugar and sprinkle with toasted coconut for garnish.

Step 9

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy your tropical Piña Colada Muffins!
