How to make Pineapple Muffins with Fresh Pineapple
Peel and finely chop the fresh pineapple in a food processor or roughly chop it into small pieces using a knife.
For the pineapple in the can, drained the syrup and chop it up. If using a crushed pineapple in the can, you may add some of the juice and measure with the crushed pineapple.
Line the 12- cup muffin pan with a muffin liner. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
For the dry ingredients. Measure, sift and mix well the flour, baking powder, and salt.
For the wet ingredients. Cream the softened butter or margarine and sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, then sour cream and pure vanilla extract. Mix until well blended.
Use a spatula and mix in the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients mixture. Mix just until incorporated. Then add and fold gently the finely chopped pineapple. Do not overmix. Over-mixing may result in a denser muffin.
Use an ice cream scoop. Divide and portion the batter into the 12- cup muffin pan.
Bake in preheated oven at 375°F for 18 to 22 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes then serve warm with butter. Then cool completely on a cooling rack.
