Bakery-Style Upside-Down Hawaiian Pineapple Muffins image

You may use fresh pineapple in place of canned, or use pineapple rings, diced into small pieces, also add in some chopped macadamia nuts or walnuts to the muffin batter if desired. These muffins are best served warm, also they freeze very well, make certain to generously grease the bottom of each muffin tin to make removing the muffins easier :)

I had some trouble finding cream cheese frosting, so I used a vanilla frosting instead. The muffins still turned out great!

These muffins are a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think they would be perfect for people who like sweet desserts.

These muffins are a great way to use up leftover pineapple. I also like to add a handful of chopped nuts or dried fruit for extra flavor.

I've tried many pineapple muffin recipes, but this one is by far the best. The muffins are moist and fluffy, and the cream cheese frosting is to die for.
