I guess I should have posted this recipe in the summer...it seems more appropriate than fall, but truth be told, we eat these year round! Brent likes a breakfast sweet on the weekends, so I often whip up a quick muffin Saturday mornings. This is one of our favorites.
I got this recipe years ago from a co worker. Every Wednesday she would get up early and bake the BEST muffins to bring to work for coffee. It was such a treat. She's retired now, but I made sure I got some of her recipes!
Every bite is moist and delicious, with tiny chunks of pineapple. I love the topping...the coconut toasts up sweet and crunchy as it bakes.
I usually make half a recipe and get about 8 nice size muffins out of it. BUT I don't half the awesome topping. I use it ALL!
Pina Colada Muffins
2 c. flour
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
2 8oz. cans of crushed pineapple, NOT drained
2 eggs
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1 tsp. coconut extract
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and soda.
In another bowl, mix eggs,oil, and pineapple. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fill greased muffin tins 2/3 full.
Mix topping:
1 Tbsp. melted butter
2 tbsp. sugar
1/2 c. coconut
Sprinkle on top of muffins and bake at 375 about 20 minutes or until light brown.

Pina Colada is perhaps the only cocktail I drink with pleasure so I believe these muffins are mouthwatering as well! Thank you for your kind words Laurie!
I love the look of these muffins and the ingredients sound so good. I'm a muffin fanatic!
As soon as I saw that first picture, I knew I had to make these muffins! Even tho fall's just started, sometimes we just need a reminder of warmer weather :)
Oh my, those do look yummy!
My mouth is watering already! These look DELICIOUS and have been pinned! :)
Just stopping by from Lady behind the curtain link up.

I just made these - yummy! Both boys approved! Note: I didn't have coconut extract so I used plain old Vanilla Extract. Still tasted great - just not as coconut as it could be. :)
I made these the other day and they are very good. I subbed half the oil for applesauce.
Thanks for the recipe!
Hey think I can make this into a cake and call it a hummingbird cake? KBUSZTA@yahoo.com
Had no vegetable oil so I substituted coconut oil.
I just made this, found the batter was very dry (I use chopped fresh pineapple), added 1/4 cup of milk. Also added chopped walnut on top. They are smelling very good. I read previous post, should try applesauce instead of oil next time. Can't wait to taste it. (still baking in the oven)
I just made these and only changes I made was instead of the vegetable oil and coconut extract I used 1/2 c. of virgin coconut oil (melted), I needed up using about 18oz instead of 16 oz of the crushed pineapples, and I also doubled the toppings! They came out PERFECT. Definitely making these more often!
Klingen super und erinnern mich dazu noch an den besten Pina Colada den ich je hatte im Sommer im Bikehotel in Südtirol - Danke für das Rezept
I love these and have many compliments on them. I do double the topping part though!
I made these muffins today…the only changes I made were to add a bit of applesauce because I didn’t have enough pineapple, added a teaspoon of rum to the batter and topped with a cherry after they were baked. I took them out at exactly 20 minutes. They were absolutely delicious and moist. Thanks for sharing!
