I just love Pineapple & Coconut! It’s just so tropical you know? Over the weekend I decided to try making muffins with pineapple and coconut and they turned out great! The crushed pineapple makes these muffins so moist and flavorful. I think you can even use this recipe to make a cake or cupcakes with a light whipped topping. Either way, these were a nice treat on the first day of Daylight Savings Time when I needed a little pick me up:) Did you bake anything special this past weekend?

These look delicious, Shannon! Growing up my mom loved pineapple so she used it a lot for baking but I don’t think she ever made muffins ~ I’m going to have to give these a try.
