Recipe for Pineapple Muffins
Pineapple is a very delicious, juicy and sweet fruit. It is extremely nutritious and is fully packed with taste. This fruit is a no fat fruit and is really healthy for figure conscious people. It even has a lot of fibre in it and is rich in a lot of vitamins and minerals that are required by the body for development. Thus, this fruit stands as a very good ingredient for any recipe, especially for something that children would love to have.
To make a pineapple muffin the basic requirements are:
- Two full cups of all purpose flour along with half a cup of white sugar
- One table spoon of baking powder
- Half a teaspoon of salt just to add the flavour
- A can of crushed pineapple (8 ounces)
- One egg
- A cup of milk and
- A cup of melted butter.
Once you gather everything together you can start with making the muffins.
Start with preheating the oven to 375 degrees F or 190 degrees C. Then, get a muffin tray with 12 to 14 muffin moulds or just get 12 normal muffin cups. Grease them with oil and flour them, or line them with paper liners or paper cups.
Next, take a mixing bowl and put the 2 cups of flour in it. Add to it, the white sugar and baking powder. Add the small amount of salt after this to enhance the taste. Then stir all of these together for a while.
Take another mixing bowl and mix egg, milk and the quarter cup of melted butter together.
Now pour this mixture of eggs and milk right in the center of the mixture of the all purpose flour and sugar. Keep stirring as you pour them in. After that, add the crushed pineapple and the pineapple juice and fold it in. You can even add other fruits, cinnamon, walnuts etc. to add your own personal touch to the muffins. Keep stirring until the mixture becomes a smooth batter.
Once the batter is done, just spoon it into the muffin cups. If you like you can even spoon the pineapple and other fruits over the batter. Make sure you do not fill the cups to the brim, just fill 3/4th of them otherwise it will ooze out of the cups while baking.
Bake them for 30 minutes. After that is done, put in a toothpick at the center of the muffin and see if it comes out clean or just touch the tops of the muffins gently and see if they bounce back. If they do, even in any one of the cases, then your muffins are ready to serve.
Take your muffin cups out of the oven and keep them to cool a little for about 5 minutes. Take them out and serve them warm.
Serve at tea, breakfast or at any occasion.
