Let pineapple and coconut bring a refreshing twist to muffins with this recipe from Vicki Schrupp of Little Falls, Minnesota. Topped with sliced almonds, the moist morsels include sour cream and cream cheese.
Ingredients:
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 egg
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sour cream
2 cans (8 ounces each) crushed pineapple, drained
1/4 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup sliced almonds
Directions:
1. In a bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and extracts until smooth; stir in egg. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with sour cream just until moistened. Fold in pineapple and coconut.
2. Fill greased or paper-line muffin cups three-fourths full. Sprinkle with almonds. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until muffins test done. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.
