Ingredients
  

  • 2 c. flour

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 Degrees F

  • In a large bowl, combine all ingredients, remembering to fold in the pineapple last. This technique ensures the pineapple flavor evenly distributed without over mixing the batter.

  • Reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake the muffins for another 25 minutes approximately
  • Test the muffins with a toothpick. If the toothpick comes out clean, the muffins are ready to take out of the oven.
  • Cool the muffins in the tin.
  • Serve the muffins immediately or store in the fridge until serving.
