Tips:

  • For a sweeter muffin, use ripe pineapple. To check for ripeness, gently squeeze the pineapple; it should give slightly.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Grated zucchini adds moisture and a subtle sweetness to the muffins. Make sure to squeeze out any excess moisture from the zucchini before adding it to the batter.
  • For a crunchier topping, sprinkle some chopped nuts or seeds on top of the muffins before baking.
  • Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 2 months.
