I wanted a new muffin recipe for breakfast that we could eat on the run. We’re always trying to come up with breakfast ideas that we can eat on our way out the door but sometimes it’s a challenge to find recipes that are not only good for you but still taste good. These pineapple upside down muffins were delicious, moist, and healthy! Reason 105 that eatingwell.com is my favorite website. We loved that you could pop these in the microwave for just a few seconds or eat them at room temperature and they were still just as yummy. I used a larger can of pineapple & blended half of it in my food processor. We really loved the added pineapple flavor this way. These would be a great option for your school aged kids to grab and go on the way to the bus stop or for eating on the way to work.
Can Muffins Be Baked Without Paper Liners?
Yes, you can bake muffins and cupcakes without the paper liners.
Just be sure to coat the muffin pan with non stick spray.
How Long Will Muffins Keep In The Freezer?
When stored properly, muffins will keep for 3 months in the freezer.
Muffins should be wrapped in plastic and foil, or stored in a heavy duty freezer bag.
How Do you Reheat Muffins?
Place unwrapped muffin on napkin, microwave-safe paper towel or plate.
Microwave on HIGH about 30 seconds for each muffin.
Or, wrap muffins in foil and bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes.

Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your post seem to
be running off the screen in Ie. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to
let you know. The design look great though! Hope you
get the issue fixed soon. Thanks
