Pineapple, walnut, blueberry, and cinnamon muffins
I made these for the athletes. And they turned out surprisingly well. I cut up the pineapple sliced it and then I chunked a few slices. Maybe 200 g of them put them in a bowl on paper towel towels, and then put a paper towel on top push down to drain as a lot of of the liquid so the muffins wouldn’t turn out too wet. It worked beautifully tossed the blueberries in some powdered sugar instead of flour to keep them from sinking which worked nicely and toasted the walnuts. Then I placed them in my fancy tall muffin tin liners. Top them with more toasted, walnut and turbinado sugar. Those kids have no idea what they’re eating would cost seven dollars at a bakery. Here’s the recipe Pineapple Blueberry Muffins with Toasted Nuts Moist, tropical muffins built around fresh pineapple and blueberries, with toasted nuts for crunch. The pineapple does the heavy lifting on moisture so these stay tender for days.
