Instructions

Hawaiian Zucchini Muffins Batter Instructions

  • Grade 2 cups zucchini and set aside until ready for use.
  • Crush ¼ of the pineapple (it roughly comes out to 1 cup crushed) set aside until ready for use.
  • Sift the flour into a large bowl, measure out the rest of dry ingredients baking: powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir it together using hand whisker, set aside until ready for use.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C). Beat eggs and sugar on high mixing speed for 5 minutes or until light in color and foamy in texture. Reduce mixing speed to low add crushed pineapple sauce, oil, and vanilla extract.
  • With mixing speed continuing on low add dry ingredients and grated zucchini in two additions. Mix just until all incorporated (do not over beat).

Hawaiian Zucchini Muffins Baking Instructions

  • Remove mixer bowl from stand and mix batter once more with a silicone spatula to ensure all the ingredients are well combined. Scoop batter using a large ice cream scoop and fill prepared muffin liners ¾ full.
  • Bake muffins for 25 – 30 minutes at 350 F (180 C) or until toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool for 5 minutes before removing from the muffin pan. After the muffins cool completely, store them in a plastic container or freeze in freezer Ziploc bag.
