Ingredients

1/3 cup salted butter, melted
1 large egg
8 oz. sour cream
8 oz. can crushed pineapple (with juice)
2 cups self-rising flour
(Substitution: If using all-purpose flour, add 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, and 2 tsp baking powder)
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup pecans (optional)
Optional: Cinnamon sugar or Recipe #151 Streusel (for topping)

Instructions

Mix Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, and sour cream until smooth.
Add Fruit: Fold in the entire can of crushed pineapple, including the juice.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, stir together the self-rising flour, brown sugar, and pecans.
The "Well" Method: Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet mixture into the well and stir until just combined.
Fill & Top: Spray a muffin pan with non-stick spray. Fill the muffin cups about three-quarters full. If you're feeling extra sweet, sprinkle the tops with cinnamon sugar or Tammy's Streusel.
Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 35-40 minutes until golden and set.
Serve: Best served hot with a generous pat of butter!
