Pina Colada Muffin Recipe Notes:

• Drain your pineapple really well so it doesn’t make the batter too moist.
• Butter, coconut oil, or canola oil can be used interchangeably.

Here are some secrets to making the best muffins:

1. Use the right flour: Use all-purpose flour for a lighter texture and whole wheat flour for a nuttier taste.
2. Don’t overmix the batter: Overmixing can lead to tough muffins. Mix the batter until the ingredients are just combined.
3. Use room temperature ingredients: This allows the ingredients to blend together better, resulting in a more evenly baked muffin.
4. Use a muffin tin: Using a muffin tin helps the muffins bake evenly and keeps their shape.
5. Don’t overfill the muffin cups: Fill each cup about 2/3 full to allow room for the muffins to rise.
6. Add mix-ins: Add your favorite mix-ins like chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts to add flavor and texture.
7. Let the muffins cool: Allow the muffins to cool for 5-10 minutes before removing them from the muffin tin. This helps them set and prevents them from falling apart.

By following these tips, you can make the best muffins every time.
