Total Time: 30 minutes
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Yields: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar 🍚
- 2/3 cup canola oil 🛢️
- 2 large eggs 🥚🥚
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 🌾
- 2 teaspoons baking powder 🥄
- 1 teaspoon baking soda 🥄
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 🍂
- 1/4 teaspoon salt 🧂
- 1 cup finely grated carrot 🥕
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained 🍍
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with paper liners to ensure your muffins come out easily. 🧈
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and canola oil. Stir them together until the mixture is smooth and well-blended. The oil adds moisture and a subtle richness to your muffins, while the sugar sweetens them perfectly. 🍬
-
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Ensure that the eggs are fully incorporated into the sugar-oil mixture for a uniform batter. 🥄
-
Stir in the vanilla extract, which will infuse the muffins with a warm, aromatic flavor. 🌿
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. This will ensure that the leavening agents and spices are evenly distributed throughout the flour. 🌾
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if a few small lumps remain. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins. 🥄
-
Gently fold in the grated carrots and crushed pineapple until evenly distributed throughout the batter. The carrots provide a sweet and tender texture, while the pineapple adds a burst of tropical flavor. 🍍🥕
-
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup all the way to the top. This will help your muffins rise nicely and achieve a delightful dome shape. 🧁
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. The muffins should be golden brown on top and spring back slightly when touched. ⏲️
-
Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set and makes it easier to remove them from the tin. 🧊
-
Enjoy your freshly baked Carrot Pineapple Muffins as a delightful treat on their own, or paired with a cup of tea or coffee. They are also perfect for packing in lunchboxes or serving at brunches. 🥪☕
