Bakery-Style Upside-Down Hawaiian Pineapple Muffins image

You may use fresh pineapple in place of canned, or use pineapple rings, diced into small pieces, also add in some chopped macadamia nuts or walnuts to the muffin batter if desired. These muffins are best served warm, also they freeze very well, make certain to generously grease the bottom of each muffin tin to make removing the muffins easier :)

I made these muffins with fresh pineapple and they were amazing. I can't wait to try them with canned pineapple next time.

These muffins are a great way to use up leftover pineapple. They're also a great way to get kids to eat fruit.

I'm not a big fan of pineapple, but I loved these muffins. The pineapple flavor is subtle and not overpowering.
