Hikies you have done it again. Who knew pinapple muffins. Made these for the weekend at the cottage for a quick breakfast but they ended up nbeing breakfast, snacks and dinner dessert. WOW! Light, fluffy, and delighful. I like the crumb topping and will add more topping next time to make curb or satisfy my sugar tooth. :-)Mike and I really enjoyed these as did the neighbor kids. Made for ZWT 2011 and will make these often!
