Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups brown sugar
• 2 units large eggs
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups crushed pineapple (drained)
• 1 tablespoons fresh ginger (grated)
• 0.5 cups milk

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, large eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Fold the drained crushed pineapple and grated fresh ginger into the wet mixture until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

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 before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
