• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Crushed pineapple (canned, drained, reserve juice)
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 1 cup Powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Reserved pineapple juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini cupcake pan with 24 paper liners or grease the wells if not using liners.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Add the crushed pineapple and milk to the wet ingredients and mix until evenly incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Spoon the batter into the prepared mini cupcake wells, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 8

While the cupcakes cool, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and reserved pineapple juice in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 9

Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, spoon a small amount of glaze over each cupcake, allowing it to drip down the sides.

Step 10

Let the glaze set for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy your miniature pineapple cupcakes!
