Carrot Pineapple Muffins

These are the BEST! So very moist and remind me of carrot cake. I made some cream cheese icing and put a little dollop on each muffin. Yummy, yummy, YUM! Be sure to double this recipe.

1 1/2 Cup flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt (i always omit the salt)
1 Cup sugar

Sift together.

2 eggs
2/3 Cup oil (I used a cannola/olive oil blend)
1/2 Cup crushed pineapple, not drained (oops....I am just realizing that I used way too much of this the last time I made it...didn't seem to matter but no wonder they were so moist... haha!)
1 medium grated carrot
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix well. Add to dry ingredients.
Bake at 350. for 18 mins or until you can poke a tooth pick in the muffin with out batter sticking.

Must be something in the air, I made a carrot cake to take out tonight....It's a very yummy recipe with LOTS of carrot, but it is not "Shaun Friendly" as it is also FULL of ground nuts.

Jenny,
That sounds delicious! Carrot cake is one of my mothers favorites. Shaun is pretty found of it too. (But it's hard to beat Cheesecake!!!!)
Have a great weekend.

I thought that salt was necessary in a recipe that has baking soda. I thought I heard that the salt 'activates' the baking soda. (??)

I do love carrot cake & carrot muffins too! And cream cheese icing. Yum!
