  1. These turned out very well, with the exception that the pineapple pieces seemed to all end up in the bottom of the muffin...I used the chunk, and cut into 8ths to avoid this. When I can, I add the fruit or chips to the flour mixture, but sticking to this recipe of alternating flour and milk does not really allow for this. In the future, I will "coat" the pineapple pieces by putting them in a baggie with a bit of flour, and shaking them, that might help keep them distributed through the muffin. Did add a teaspoon of vanilla to the mix, and was very pleased with the flavor. In addition, heated the oven to 400, then lowered temp to 375 when the muffins went into the oven to increase height -- this tip was in another Zaar recipe and seems to work well...Mahalo for submitting -- we will make this often.
     
  2. I really liked these!! I thought it tasted a little like a pineapple upside down cake. Substituted applesauce for the oil, and threw in a little coconut. My son loves them as well, kept asking for more, more, more!
     
  3. They were so delicious! I loved them. 5 stars
     
  4. Loved these! I omitted the oil and used applesauce instead, and they still turned out great! Of course they ended up being flatter than the ones pictured, but they tasted delicious. I used a can of drained crushed pineapple. Next time I may throw in some coconut flavour and make tropical cupcakes! Thanks for this diet friendly recipe!
     
  5. Really nice. I used liquid margerine made of conola oil, and half milk, half pineapple juice. The recipe is light and soft. Love it.

  1. Accidently opened a tin of crushed pineapple instead of salmon so needed to use up the pineapple and found this recipe. Delicious and easy. My two boys aged 1 and 2 helped and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. I can totally recommend the crushed pineapple over having to cut up the chunks, easier and it sounds like it distributes more evenly.
