Pineapple Muffins

Submitted by Michelle Berteig

"This recipe is for use with the NordicWare Mini Pineapple Upside-down Cake Pan, the recipe came with the pan. I'm typing it in here so I don't lose it! The recipe could also probably be made in a well-greased 6-section muffin pan, if the sections are large enough to hold a pineapple ring in the bottom."

Wow!! I love these muffins. I just took them out of the oven and couldn't wait to taste. I will definately make them again. Made for P-A-R-T-Y December 2009.

These muffins were great. I didn't have large muffin tins so I used some ramikens I have. They are quick to make and I had them baking while we ate dinner. I loved having an indidvidual pineapple upside down cake. Thanks for posting. Made for ZWT5.

Very tasty, and easy to make. I used an extra-large muffin tin, and it worked well. I like that the individual cakes formed a crispy edge around them, but the cakes themselves were very moist and fluffy. Made for ZWT9.
