Helpful tips for making these muffins

These tropical pineapple banana muffins are bursting with flavor. The chunks of pineapple add a delicious twist to this familiar favorite!
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- ½ cup salted butter (melted)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 4 medium bananas going brown preferably as they are sweeter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chopped pineapples or pineapple tidbits drained
Instructions
Directions:
-
Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, peel the bananas and put them into your mixing bowl.
-
Using the whisk attachment, run this for about 30 seconds until the bananas are mashed up.
-
Then, place the butter in a microwave safe bowl and heat for about 10-20 seconds until melted. Add this to your mashed bananas in your mixing bowl.
-
Next, add both the brown sugar, the granulated sugar, and the eggs and mix until smooth for about a minute. Add your vanilla and baking soda next and mix until fully incorporated.
-
Finally, you will add the flour ½ cup at a time, making sure to mix well between each addition. The last step is to add the drained pineapples to the batter and stir until they are evenly distributed.
-
Add liners to a cupcake pan. Then scoop batter into each liner, a little over half full.
-
Bake for 17-19 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center.
Recipe Notes
Don't overmix your batter.

What a great combination, pineapple and banana. I feel like I want to give them a coconut rum frosting!
