While I enjoyed the tropical pineapple flavor of these muffins, the bottoms were a little burned for me after 25 minutes. Also, the recipe only yielded 17 as opposed to the written 24. I'd like to try these again, adding some other ingredients like coconut and dried cranberries. Thank you for posting! Reviewed for ZWT - 7.
