Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Crushed pineapple (canned or fresh), drained
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Chopped fresh pineapple (optional, for texture)

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 with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then whisk in the melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and whole milk until smooth.

Step 4

Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be just combined and slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the 1 cup of drained crushed pineapple and optional 0.5 cups of chopped fresh pineapple, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 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 warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
