directions

1. Grease 2 X6 muffin tins with butter. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
2. Sift flour & spice together into suitable bowl and add the coconut & sugar – mix together well ensuring the lumps are out of the coconut & sugar.
3. In another smaller bowl, mix the egg, milk & oil.
4. Pour into the flour mixture – add the pineapple and mix well but lightly. Do not overwork the muffin mixture & a few lumps in the mixture doesn’t matter.
5. Spoon mixture into prepared tins –about ¾ full in each hole. Bake for 15 – 20 minutes and then remove – cook the other tins while letting the first lot cool on a cooling rack. The cooked ones can be turned out onto a rack when cool enough to handle.

I liked the fact that this was a simple recipe to make. I left out the mixed spice and adjusted the milk and pineapple ratios a little and it worked very well. I also topped them with a chocolate glaze and yellow sprinkles and the kids loved them.

I used whole grain oat flour and 1 Tbsp of baking powder, 2/3 cup coconut, and 1/4 cup oil. Turned out really yummy. I usually like to eat fresh pineapple as is, but I had let one get way too ripe before cutting it. I was a little worried about eating it, but I hate to let food go to waste. This recipe was perfect for my situation. Thanks for posting this. :)
