Pineapple Upside Down Muffins Recipe
Pineapple is an amazingly juicy and sweet fruit. It tastes extremely well and is jam packed with great nutrients. Not only does it have a lot of fibre it has almost no fat and is extremely rich in all the vitamins needed for the over all development of the body. Pineapples are also very rich and manganese and minerals and therefore they prove to be an excellent ingredient for a muffin.
For all those who have already made a pineapple upside down cake, making pineapple upside down muffins is literally a piece of cake.
All that we need to start with making these muffins are:
Ingredients:
- Pineapple slices in Juice, drained. ( About 10 ounces)
- Brown Sugar ( 2 to 3 table spoons)
- Whole wheat Flour ( Three- fourth of a cup)
- All purpose Flour (Three Fourth of a cup)
- A bit of salt (Around a teaspoon)
- Baking Soda (Half a teaspoon)
- Canola Oil (One- Fourth of a cup)
- Eggs (About 2 large eggs)
- Pineapple Juice (Two table spoons)
- Some crushed pineapple (8 ounces)
- Vanilla Extract (One teaspoon)
- And, of course, a muffin tray with 12 slots or 12 muffin cups.
Method:
Once we have all of these ingredients we can start with making the muffins.
- Firstly, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F or 190 to 200 degrees C.
- Grease your muffin cups with oil.
- Then stack the pineapple slices and cut them into 6 to seven pieces or wedges and keep them aside.
- Sprinkle the bottom of the muffin cups with brown sugar and place two to three wedges over the brown sugar in each of these cups. Then keep these cups aside.
- Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of walnuts over the sugar, and then place two wedges of pineapple into each cup. Set aside.
- Take a large mixing bowl and put in the white flour and the all purpose flour in it. Add the baking soda, baking powder and a bit of salt to it. If you please, you may even add your favourite nuts such as walnuts or ingredients such as cinnamon as per your choice to give the muffins an absolutely distinct taste.
- Take another mixing bowl and add to it the eggs, half cup of brown sugar, canola oil and pineapple juice. Stir well. Then add vanilla as you continue to stir.
- Put the mixture of the egg slowly into the bowl with the mixture of flour and keep stirring as you do it. Make sure you stir until there are no lumps being formed in the batter. Put in the crushed pineapple into the batter. You may even add in other fruits, nuts and raisins as per your choice. Now fill the batter into the muffin cups with the help of a spoon. Do not over fill, make sure only 3/4th of the cups are packed with the batter.
- Bake the muffins for about 20 to 25 minutes and then touch softly and see if the tops bounce back or not. If they do, they are ready to serve. Loosen the edges of the muffins with the help of a knife and invert them in a tray so that the pineapples show up at the top.
Enjoy as an evening delight or on any occasion with family and friends.
