Tropical Muffins *Pinterest Recipe*

Hey Loves,

Pinterest inspired me again :) this time I made Tropical Muffins! Pintrest is a place where I can get any recipe! A little over a month ago, while grabbing my lunch I stumbled upon pineapple coconut muffins. Yum right? but almost $4 for muffin was no no form me. I can make at least a dozen with that price! After getting back to work I look on Pintrest for Pineapple Coconut muffins. i found few but Tropical Breakfast  Muffins by A Spicy Perspective stood out the most. Why? Coz not only it contain pineapple and coconut but it does also my beloved mango :) 

Most of the ingredients I had already at home, I was missing only mango and shredded coconut. 

After getting everything, screwing up recipe (yeah it did happen). LOl let me tell you. I had only 1 cup of sugar, and instead of mixing sugar with butter like recipe say, I mixed it with flour! Yes silly me! I had to go out again. 

My husband, who don't eat anything sweet ate like 6 of them! 

Yum! guys they are so good! not crazy sweet. 

below is the original recipe from A Spicy Perspective :) Also  here is the link to her recipe :)

hope you guys will make it :)

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 15 ounce can crushed pineapple
• 3/4 cup diced fresh mango
• 1 1/4 cup shredded coconut, divided

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line two large muffins tins with paper muffin liners. Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.
2. In the bowl of the electric mixer, cream the softened butter and sugar. Beat until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Scrape the bowl, then turn the mixer on low and add the eggs, vanilla and flour mixture. Scrape the bowl again and add the crushed pineapple, diced mango, and 3/4 cup shredded coconut. Mix until smooth.
3. Divide the batter evenly between 24 muffins liners. Then sprinkle the remaining shredded coconut over the muffin batter. Place the muffin tins in the oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, remove the muffins from the oven. Cool for at least 5 minutes in the muffin tins, then flip the muffins out of the pans.
