Previously frozen pineapple is combined with carrots to make these light and airy muffins. These are great for a grab-and-go morning snack. Water replaces the traditional milk to keep this dairy free.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks

  • 4 tablespoons vegan butter (such as Earth Balance®)

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup water

  • ¼ cup white sugar

  • ¼ cup light brown sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 medium lemon, zested

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup grated carrot

Directions

  1. Thaw pineapple chunks, then chop finely. Place in a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and press out as much juice as possible with the back of a spoon. Set aside while you prepare the batter.

  2. Heat vegan butter in the microwave in 30-second intervals until melted. Allow to cool.

  3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease or line 9 cups of a standard muffin tin.

  4. Place flour into a large measuring cup. Add baking powder, baking soda, and salt; stir with a fork.

  5. Whisk water, sugars, and egg together in a large bowl. Stir in cooled melted butter, lemon zest, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients and mix until blended. Stir in carrots and pineapple until blended; batter will be very thick. Divide between the prepared muffin cups.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing to a rack to cool completely.
