Ingredients
- ½ cup flavorless oil such as canola oil or sunflower oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg ideally at room temperature
- 1 egg yolk ideally at room temperature
- 4 oz crushed pineapple well drained
- 1 cup yellow squash grated
- 1½ cups all purpose flour or plain flour
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- pinch ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ (175C/155C Fan) and prepare your muffin pan. Either grease and flour this well, spray with a non-stick cooking spray or line with muffin cases.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar, vanilla extract, egg and yolk, pineapple and grated squash.
- Once mixed together sift the dry ingredients into the bowl - the flour, baking soda, salt and spices.
- Use a spatula to stir the mixture together, ensuring that there are no pockets of unmixed flour.
- Spoon the batter into your prepared muffin tray and bake in the centre of the preheated oven until risen and golden (about 25-30 minutes). Check the muffins are done by using a toothpick or skewer inserted into one of the central muffins. This should come out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before carefully removing and placing on a wire rack to cool completely.
