Description

Inspired by our recent vacation at Hanalei Bay, Kauai, these muffins take me back to those glorious mornings on the pier. All of my favorite flavors of the islands are included, and they embrace that laid-back, easy island attitude.

Ingredients

  • 2 packages Martha White Pound Cake Muffin Mix (7.4 Ozs Each)
  • 1 cup Evaporated Milk (See Note)
  • 1 can Crushed Pineapple (8 Ozs), Drained
  • 2 packages Macadamia Nuts (2 Ozs Each)
  • 1-½ cup Coconut Flakes, Sweetened
  • ½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Almond Extract

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425F. Dump all of the ingredients into a mixing bowl, and stir only until dry ingredients are incorporated and no dry mix can be detected. Do not overmix muffins, or they will be chewy instead of light and fluffy. Divide batter into a greased or paper-lined muffin pan. I like to use an old fashioned ice cream scoop to get evenly-sized muffins. Bake 15-20 minutes (depending on your oven), until the muffins are golden brown on top, and a toothpick comes out clean. This makes 10-12 regular size muffins.

Note: In place of evaporated milk, you can use the juice off the crushed pineapple and enough milk to bring it to one cup. Or you can try almond milk or rice milk instead of evaporated milk.
