Step-by-Step Instructions for Crushed Pineapple Muffins
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with muffin liners.

  3. In a separate bowl, mix together vegetable oil, crushed pineapple, vanilla extract, sugar, and egg until smooth.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients gently with a spatula until just combined.
  5. Scoop the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full, adding optional ingredients if desired.
  6. Bake for 20-23 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick.
  7. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
