Pineapple Carrot Raisin Muffins image

My father got muffins from a tenant of his (who happens to be a chef). My mom made my dad ask the chef if he would write down the recipe for her Then, My mom asked if I would make it, and I agreed with a sort of "ehhh, pineapple??" attitude. haha. Well, it's delicious! It's light and sweet. and I baked mine until they sort of got crsip around the edges (crunchy muffin tops are lovely in my opinion). The original recipe calls for walnuts, but I personally use chopped almonds instead.

CARROT PINEAPPLE MUFFINS



Carrot Pineapple Muffins image

Categories     Carrot     Bake     Bread     Breakfast

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 1/4 ounces Pineapple; Crushed, 1 Cn
1 Skim Milk
2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
1 1/3 cups Brown Sugar; Packed
1 tablespoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoons Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
3/4 cup Carrots; Grated
1/3 cup Vegetable Oil
1 Egg, Beaten
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla

Steps:

  • Drain the Pineapple, reserving the juice. Add enough skim milk to the juice to make 3/4 cup of liquid, then set aside. Combine the next 7 ingredients in a large bowl, stirring until the carrots are well coated. Make a well in the center of the mixture. Combine the milk mixture, oil, egg and vanilla; then add to the dry ingredients. Stir until just moistened and no flour streaks remain. Spoon into muffin tins that have been coated with a non-stick spray, filling each cup 2/3rds full. Bake at 375 degrees F. for 20 to 25 minutes or until done. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • For a sweeter muffin, use more pineapple and less carrot. For a more savory muffin, use more carrot and less pineapple.
  • If you don't have any fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple. Just be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Grated carrots add moisture and sweetness to the muffins. Be sure to squeeze out any excess water from the grated carrots before adding them to the batter.
  • Chopped walnuts or pecans add a nice crunch to the muffins. You can also add other mix-ins, such as raisins, dried cranberries, or chocolate chips.
  • Be sure to grease or line your muffin tins before filling them with batter. This will help the muffins to come out of the tins easily.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will make the muffins dry.
  • Let the muffins cool for a few minutes in the muffin tins before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

Carrot pineapple muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Be sure to try this recipe the next time you are looking for a tasty and nutritious treat.
