Ingredients

Muffins

Orange glaze

Instructions

  • Start by draining the crushed pineapple. Press with a spoon to extract as much of the juice as possible. Set aside. Zest one orange. Set aside 1/4 tsp of zest for the glaze.
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together both flours, the sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center.
  • Add enough milk to the reserved pineapple juice to equal 3/4 cup. Combine the pineapple/ milk with the egg and oil. Stir into the flour mixture just until combined. There will be and should be small lumps. Stir in the drained crushed pineapple and the orange zest.
  • Divide the batter equally into 12 well greased muffin cups. You can use 10, just depends on how large you like your muffins.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and set on wire racks to cool for a couple of minutes then remove from the muffin tins.

Glaze

  • In a small bowl, combine the confectioners sugar, the orange juice and the orange zest. Spoon over each muffin letting the glaze run down the sides. Serve warm with butter and enjoy!
