Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cups Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cups Melted unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Crushed pineapple, drained
• 0.75 cups Chopped macadamia nuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the Greek yogurt, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

Fold in the drained crushed pineapple and chopped macadamia nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of one muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
