Serving Size: 1 muffin

Ingredients

  • 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple in 100% juice
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 cup all purpose white flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 3 tablespoons oil (canola or vegetable)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a muffin tin with liners or spray with cooking spray.
  2. Drain juice from the pineapple into a cup or bowl. Save the juice for step 4. Dab pineapple with a paper towel to dry.
  3. Whisk whole wheat flour, all purpose white flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.
  4. Beat sugar, oil, vanilla, and 1/4 cup of the saved pineapple juice until combined. Beat in eggs. Stir in the crushed pineapple.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Divide the batter into the muffin tins.

  7. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Tips

Pineapple Snack Cakes are great as a side dish to any meal or as a snack.

Use pineapple tidbits or chunks instead of crushed pineapple. Drain well and finely chop.

Sprinkle 1/2 cup of coconut or walnuts on top of each snack cake before baking.

Save extra pineapple juice to add to a salad dressing, fruit salad, or smoothie.
