Tips:

  • For a sweeter muffin, use ripe pineapples. The natural sugars in the fruit will caramelize during baking, creating a delicious flavor.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To ensure even baking, fill the muffin cups evenly. You can use an ice cream scoop to make this easier.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry out the muffins.
  • Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These pineapple muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack.
