How to Make Upside Down Pineapple Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly grease a 6-cup muffin tin.
  2. Place 1 teaspoon of golden syrup into the bottom of each muffin cup. Top each with a pineapple ring (about 1/2 inch thick). You may need to trim the edges slightly to fit.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder. Add ¾ cup granulated sugar and stir to combine. Make a well in the center.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup melted unsalted butter, 2 large eggs, ¼ cup pineapple juice, ½ cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, gently folding until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Spoon the batter evenly over the pineapple rings in the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the tin for a few minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Serve warm with a drizzle of extra golden syrup and a dollop of whipped cream.
