Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 cup Pineapple (or your choice of fruit, diced)
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin thoroughly.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of the unsalted butter over medium heat, then stir in the brown sugar until dissolved and slightly bubbly. Remove from heat.

Step 3

Distribute the brown sugar mixture evenly into the bottom of each muffin cup. Top with an even layer of diced pineapple or your chosen fruit.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, 2 tablespoons of melted butter (reserved), vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Scoop the batter evenly over the fruit and brown sugar mixture in the muffin cups, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, run a knife around the edges of each muffin and carefully invert the pan onto a baking sheet or wire rack.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious upside-down muffins!
