Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Canned crushed pineapple (drained)
• 0.5 cups Sour cream
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 units Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained crushed pineapple, sour cream, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended.

Step 4

Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few small lumps.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 6

If desired, sprinkle a light pinch of brown sugar over the top of each muffin for a sweet, caramelized topping.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
