Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup canned crushed pineapple in juice (not drained)
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned crushed pineapple (with its juice), brown sugar, applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the wet ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy but well combined.

Step 5

If desired, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each 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

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Pineapple Oatmeal Muffins as a snack or a wholesome breakfast option!
