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.
