PINEAPPLE PECAN MUFFINS



Pineapple Pecan Muffins image

I created this when I had to deal with too much pineapple sitting around in the pantry. They came out very tasty.

Provided by Annacia

Categories     Breakfast

Time 50m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 cup whole milk, at room temperature
1 cup creme fraiche or 1 cup sour cream, at room temperature
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped fresh pineapple (or substitute canned pineapple, drained very well, and patted dry)
3/4 cup pecan pieces, chopped and toasted
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
3 cups confectioners' sugar
6 tablespoons pineapple juice, add more if needed

Steps:

  • MUFFINS:.
  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F Lightly oil (or spray with cooking spray) the top of a standard 12-cup muffin tin (cups should be 2-3/4 inches across and about 1 inch deep) and line with paper or foil baking cups.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; mix well. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, butter, milk, crème fraîche or sour cream, eggs, and egg yolk until well combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and fold gently with a rubber spatula just until the dry ingredients are mostly moistened (the batter will be lumpy)--there should still be quite a few streaks of dry flour.
  • Sprinkle the pineapple, pecan pieces, and lemon zest onto the batter, and fold them in until just combined. (The batter will be lumpy; don't try to smooth it out.) Do not over mix.
  • Use an ice cream scoop if you have one with a "sweeper" in it; otherwise, use two spoons to spoon the batter into the muffin cups, distributing all of the batter evenly. The batter should mound higher than the rim of the cups by about 3/4 inch. Bake until the muffins are golden brown and spring back lightly when you press the middle, 20 to 25 minutes, be sure to do the tooth pick test. Let the tin cool on a rack for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • GLAZE:.
  • Put the confectioners' sugar in a small mixing bowl. Add the pineapple juice and whisk until smooth. The glaze should be thin enough that it will drip off a spoon; if it's more like a spreadable icing, thin it with more pineapple juice, 1 Tbs. at a time.
  • When the muffins have cooled down but are still slightly warm, use a table knife to separate the tops from the pan if stuck and then invert the pan and pop out the muffins. Put the muffins on a rack over foil to catch any glaze that drips off. Dab the glaze on the muffins with a pastry brush, or spoon the glaze on and let it drip over the sides. It should leave a smooth, somewhat translucent coating. You may not need all of the glaze. Wait 20 to 30 minutes for the glaze to set; it won't dry completely.

PECAN WAFFLES WITH SAUTEED PINEAPPLE



Pecan Waffles with Sauteed Pineapple image

Categories     Milk/Cream     Breakfast     Brunch     Kid-Friendly     Pineapple     Pecan     Gourmet     Small Plates

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

For waffles
1 (1/4-oz) package active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
1/4 cup warm water (105-115°F)
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar
6 large eggs
1 qt well-shaken buttermilk
1/3 cup vegetable oil plus additional for brushing waffle iron
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups pecans (6 oz), toasted , then 1 cup finely chopped and 1/2 cup coarsely chopped
For pineapple topping
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 vanilla bean
1 pineapple (preferably labeled "extra sweet"), peeled (reserving rind for syrup , cut into 8 wedges, cored, and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
Accompaniment: vanilla brown sugar syrup
Special Equipment
a waffle iron (preferably Belgian-style)

Steps:

  • Make waffle batter:
  • Stir together yeast, warm water, and 1 teaspoon sugar in a small bowl and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. (If mixture doesn't foam, discard and start over with new yeast.)
  • Whisk together eggs, buttermilk, and oil. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar into a large bowl. Add egg mixture and whisk until combined but still lumpy. Add yeast mixture and whisk until combined but still lumpy. Chill batter, covered, at least 8 hours. Bring batter to room temperature, then stir in 1 cup finely chopped pecans.
  • Prepare pineapple topping while batter comes to room temperature:
  • Melt butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over low heat and scrape seeds from vanilla bean into butter (save pod for another use). Increase heat to moderately high, then cook pineapple, stirring occasionally, until heated through, 8 to 10 minutes. Keep warm, covered.
  • Cook waffles:
  • Preheat oven to 250°F and preheat waffle iron.
  • Brush waffle iron lightly with vegetable oil and spoon batter into iron, using about 1 1/2 cups for 4 (4-inch) square Belgian waffles and spreading evenly. Cook according to manufacturer's instructions, then transfer directly onto oven rack to keep warm. (Don't stack waffles; they will stay crisp if kept in 1 layer.)
  • Serve waffles topped with pineapple and sprinkled with remaining 1/2 cup (coarsely chopped) pecans.

Tips:

  • Prepare the ingredients in advance: Chop the pecans, pineapple, and celery and measure out the remaining ingredients before starting to assemble the cups. This will help you save time and ensure that you have everything you need on hand.
  • Use fresh pineapple: Fresh pineapple has a much better flavor and texture than canned pineapple. If you can't find fresh pineapple, you can use frozen pineapple that has been thawed and drained.
  • Toast the pecans: Toasting the pecans brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy. To toast the pecans, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant.
  • Chill the cups before serving: Chilling the cups for at least 30 minutes before serving helps to firm them up and makes them easier to eat.

Conclusion:

Pineapple Pecan Cups are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be assembled in just a few minutes. These cups are also a great way to use up leftover pineapple and pecans. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give Pineapple Pecan Cups a try.
