Ingredients
- 1 (20-ounce) can of crushed pineapple
- ½ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup canola oil
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 12 muffin silicone or paper cups.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine pineapple, sugar, oil, and vanilla. Mix well.
- Mix in the flour, baking powder, and salt until well-combined. Once the batter is just mixed, add the walnuts. Stir to combine.
- Scoop into muffin liners, filling almost to the top.
- Place in the oven, reduce heat to 350 degrees F. Bake for 25 minutes, or until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Measure the flour correctly: Fluff it up in its bags, then spoon it into the measuring cup before leveling it with the back of a knife. That way, you won’t use too much and end up with dense muffins.
- Don’t over-mix the batter: Or the vegan pineapple muffins may be dense and/or gummy.
- Adjust the sweetness: You can slightly reduce (or increase) the sugar content.
- Top money-saving tip: Canned pineapple often goes on sale around the holidays, so it’s the perfect time to stock up.
