Tips:
- Use ripe pineapple for the best flavor. Fresh or canned pineapple can be used, but if using canned, be sure to drain it well.
- Grated carrots add a moist texture and a touch of sweetness to the muffins. Be sure to grate the carrots finely so that they blend well into the batter.
- Feel free to add other spices to the batter, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger. These spices will complement the pineapple and carrot flavors well.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough muffins. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will result in dry muffins.
