A Quick and Delicious Carrot Pineapple Muffins

Today, I have a recipe for semi-sweet carrot pineapple muffins.  They are moist and tender.  You will absolutely enjoy these muffins with tea during breakfast or have them as a quick snack during the day. They are very easy to make.

Muffins are Quick Breads

Muffins are just enjoyable.  There are so many varieties; you can never get bored.  They can be cake-like, more like little sweet quick breads, cheesy, filled with a jam, marmalade, or chocolate, and made with any type of fruit or combination of grain.  They are just perfect and easy to make.

I find that all quick breads are, as the name suggest, hassle free.  In a little while you can whip up a dozen of these tasty muffins.  No kneading, no waiting for it to rest, and no mess. It's easy to make and easy to clean up.

Making delicious Carrot Pineapple Muffins

I have some other types of carrot muffins in this website.  You'll find this one simple, as well as delicious.  It is also very nutritious with added fiber from the fruit and vegetable.  If you include low-fat or fat-free dairy milk in the recipe you could also decrease the calorie content.  Thus, making this muffin extremely nutritious and tasty for the whole family.

By the way, the deliciousness of this muffin has been tested.  I had a hard time snapping the feature picture for this post because my son was lurking nearby, waiting to grab a muffin.  So, go ahead and try this recipe.  You will not be disappointed.

First you take some foil and form it around the bottom of a glass.
