How to Make Miniature Pineapple Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a mini muffin tin with 48 paper liners or grease the tin well.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the crushed pineapple and pineapple juice until evenly distributed.
  7. Fill each mini muffin cup ⅔ full.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The tops should be lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, frost with your favorite frosting (optional).
