Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 c all purpose flour
3/4 c whole wheat flour
1/4 c brown sugar
1/2 c flaked coconut
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 egg, well-beaten
1/3 c cooking oil
3/4 c orange juice
1 tsp orange zest *or* 1/2 teaspoon orange extract
1 8-ounce can crushed pineapple, well-drained, reserve juice
3 oz cream cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners. In a large mixing bowl, stir together flours, brown sugar, coconut, baking powder and salt.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, beat together egg, oil, orange juice, orange zest or extract, and drained crushed pineapple. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Do not beat too much, stir just until combined. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full.
  • 3. Bake muffins about 20-25 minutes. Cool in pan for 3 minutes, then remove to rack.
  • 4. Beat softened cream cheese until fluffy, and stir in a tablespoon of the reserved pineapple juice. Use as a spread for the warm muffins.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
  • Mash the bananas well. This will help to ensure that they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins at a moderate temperature. This will help to prevent them from drying out.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Hawaiian muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With a variety of flavors and toppings to choose from, there is sure to be a Hawaiian muffin that everyone will enjoy.
