Ingredients
- All-purpose flour
- 2 cups
- Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup, melted
- Granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup
- Egg
- 1, large
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Crushed pineapple
- 1 cup, drained
- Milk
- 1/2 cup
- Powdered sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the melted unsalted butter and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, whisking until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple, ensuring an even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Gradually combine the flour mixture with the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup approximately two-thirds full for optimal rise.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust the tops with powdered sugar to add a touch of sweetness and elegance before serving.
Tips
- For a twist, try adding shredded coconut or chopped nuts to the batter for added texture and flavor.
- These muffins can be frozen for up to 3 months. Just thaw them overnight in the refrigerator before serving!
