These carrot pineapple muffins were my husband’s absolute favourite recipe growing up. This is the exact muffin recipe that his Mom used to make for him when he was a kid. He still grins ear-to-ear whenever these super-moist and delicious muffins are brought up or baked for him.
This carrot pineapple muffins recipe is from one of those spiral-bound, 5×7 1980s cookbooks with only muffin recipes inside. I’m sure you could substitute the white sugar for some maple syrup or honey to make them a bit more healthy.
Perfect for an afternoon snack for the family or served warm straight out of the oven on the weekend! Enjoy.
