Moist Tropical Blueberry Muffins Recipe Is a Nod to Muffins & Mom by Melissa Vickers

I was in the mood for some muffins today. I knew I had some leftover crushed pineapple from the last time I made Morning Glory muffins. I didn’t have the gumption to do the carrot and apple shredding, so I just used that recipe as a starting point for this tasty muffin recipe.

The combination of blueberry and pineapple is actually a nod to my mom, who once volunteered to make a pie for her church’s annual blueberry festival. She decided that blueberries alone were just too bland and needed something, and added the pineapple in for just a little zing. 

The resulting blueberry pie was very good, and was the subject of more than one church board meeting to discuss how she’d somehow defied the laws of good pie making! But hey, we got a good flavor combo to try, a tasty pie recipe and a good story to laugh about!

To make these moist tropical blueberry muffins you will need vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, crushed pineapple, fresh blueberries, shredded coconut, dried cranberries, almond flour, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, baking soda and salt. 

Serve these moist muffins for dessert or as a sweet snack anytime!
