Time 35m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (8 1/4 ounce) can crushed pineapple
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 egg
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
1/4 cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • Drain pineapple well.

  • Bake in a preheated 400-degree oven 20- 25 minutes until golden.
  • Cool 5 minutes before removing from pan.
  • Serve warm!

Tips:

  • To ensure your muffins are perfectly moist, make sure you don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense muffin.
  • For a citrusy burst of flavor, use freshly squeezed orange juice instead of store-bought. You can also add some orange zest to the batter for an extra zesty kick.
  • If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can easily make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to a cup of regular milk. Let it sit for a few minutes before using it in the recipe.
  • To prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan, make sure to grease the muffin cups thoroughly before filling them with batter. You can also use muffin liners for easier cleanup.
  • If you want a golden brown top on your muffins, sprinkle a little bit of sugar on top before baking. This will help create a caramelized crust.
