Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 cup Mashed ripe bananas
• 1 cup Crushed pineapple (drained)
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the mashed bananas, crushed pineapple, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg. Mix well until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should remain slightly lumpy.

Step 5

If using, fold in the chopped walnuts gently for an added crunch.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 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 pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy your Pineapple Banana Muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
