3 tbsp butter
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp lime juice

1 tsp salt
3 tbsp reserved pineapple marinade
1 1/2 cup chopped grilled pineapple (1/2 cup for topping)
2 cups toasted coconut (1 cup for topping)
1/4 cup brown sugar

Steps:

  • Marinade for pineapple To prepare marinade, melt butter over medium heat until golden brown. Stir in honey and lime juice. Set aside to cool slightly. Place sliced pineapple into gallon sized ziplock bag and pour marinade over top. Make sure all slices are well coated. Refrigerate at least 30 min, overnight or 24 hours is best.Grill 3-4 minutes per side. Toast 2 cups coconut in a fry pan over medium heat until golden brown. Set aside to cool. Beat eggs, yogurt, brown sugar and vanilla in Kitchenaid until smooth. Add dry ingredients and mix until smooth. Fold in pineapple and coconut. To prepare topping, combine reserved pineapple, coconut and brown sugard over low heat until brown sugar is melted. Set aside to cool slightly. Prepare muffin pans, lightly grease or use liners, and fill tins 2/3 full. Place a tsp or so of topping on each muffin. Bake at 425 degrees 10-18 min until golden brown and cake tester comes out clean.

Tips:

  • Use fresh coconut: Fresh coconut adds a more intense flavor and aroma to the muffins compared to store-bought shredded coconut.
  • Toast the coconut: Toasting the coconut before adding it to the batter enhances its flavor and gives it a golden brown color.
  • Use buttermilk: Buttermilk adds a slight tanginess and helps to make the muffins moist and tender.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This ensures that the muffins are cooked through.
