Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 c all purpose flour
3/4 c whole wheat flour
1/4 c brown sugar
1/2 c flaked coconut
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 egg, well-beaten
1/3 c cooking oil
3/4 c orange juice
1 tsp orange zest *or* 1/2 teaspoon orange extract
1 8-ounce can crushed pineapple, well-drained, reserve juice
3 oz cream cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners. In a large mixing bowl, stir together flours, brown sugar, coconut, baking powder and salt.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, beat together egg, oil, orange juice, orange zest or extract, and drained crushed pineapple. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Do not beat too much, stir just until combined. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full.
  • 3. Bake muffins about 20-25 minutes. Cool in pan for 3 minutes, then remove to rack.
  • 4. Beat softened cream cheese until fluffy, and stir in a tablespoon of the reserved pineapple juice. Use as a spread for the warm muffins.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will prevent the muffins from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help the muffins to hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Hawaiian muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are moist, fluffy, and full of flavor. Whether you are looking for a quick breakfast, a tasty snack, or a special dessert, these muffins are sure to hit the spot. So next time you are craving something sweet, give Hawaiian muffins a try!
