Muffin Recipes: Pineapple Upside Down Muffins

Pineapple Upside-Down Muffins Recipe

With leftover crushed pineapple in the fridge begging to be used, I turned to this Pineapple Upside Down Muffins Recipe.

Just like Pineapple Upside-Down Cake, these muffins cool and are flipped over–making a very nice presentation.

Top with a cherry and make them extra pretty! We didn’t wait for these to cool, but dug right in. Yum!

Very different muffin--and very good!

Measure the buttermilk into a large measuring cup, then add in the egg melted butter to that to minimize clean-up.

I think it would also be cute to top with a cherry.
