Pineapple Walnut Mini-Bundt Muffins

Hello, my dears. How was your weekend? Mine was near-splendid! Here is why - A couple of weeks ago,DH had ordered All-Clad pots and pans(at my insistence of course) from their stainless steel range to add to my already existing collection and it arrived a day prior to Mother's day. Perfect timing, don't  you think?I should probably do a review post on them, cause they look awesome and I definitely should take a few shots of them before I start meddling, ahem, cooking with them. And,since I don't care much for surprises DH gave me some green to buy whatever I wanted.Sadly,we couldn't go out this weekend for dinner since me and the baby were a bit under the weather. So it got postponed to next week.
Coming to the matter of this post, its been a while since I made any muffins. But I wanted to test my new mini-bundt pan and I was pleased by the way the muffins looked and tasted.This is going as an entry to Bangalore Baker's Bake-Off Event.
 
Ingredients:
  • All-Purpose Flour - 1 1/2 cup
  • Wheat Flour - 1/2 cup
  • Canned Crushed Pineapple - 1 cup, undrained
  • Skimmed Milk or Buttermilk - 1 cup
  • Light Brown Sugar - 2/3 cup or more
  • Baking soda - 1/2 tsp
  • Baking Powder - 1/2 tsp
  • Olive Oil - 4 tbsp
  • Butter - 4 tbsp, melted
  • All-spice - 1/4 tsp
  • Walnut - 1/2 cup, roughly chopped
  • Salt - a pinch
Procedure:
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Sift the flour together, along with baking soda, baking powder, all-spice powder in a bowl.
  • In another bowl, add milk, oil, butter and whip it using an electric mixer. Add the sugar,crushed pineapple and the flour in batches until evenly incorporated.
  • Taste the batter. Add more sugar if needed.
  • Stir in the chopped nuts.
  • Grease the mini-bundt wells with some oil and spoon the batter into the wells.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes clean.
  • Move the bundt-pan muffins to a cooking rack.
  • Ideal for breakfast or tea-time snack option.
Makes 12 mini-bundt muffins.

Enjoy!

Note:
  • If using standard muffin pan the amounts given should be slightly reduced.

  7. Cute bundt muffins, looks awesome and i love pineapple in my bakes anytime..btw yogurt cheese is the cheese u get by straining the thick yogurt through a mulin cloth, usually i prepare them before 24hrs..this cheese is less in calorie and sometime fat free depending upon the yogurt used for..hope this helps..
