Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (8 oz) can crushed pineapple, undrained
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup oil
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 cup grated carrots

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Line 12 muffin cups with liners or grease well.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt
In a large bowl, combine the pineapple plus juice, brown sugar, oil, milk, and vanilla. Whisk to combine, then add the eggs and whisk again until fully combined.
1 (8 oz) can crushed pineapple, undrained, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup oil, 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 eggs
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until mostly combined, but some streaks of flour still remain. Add the carrots and continue to mix just until everything is fully combined.
1 cup grated carrots
Divide the batter between the 12 muffin cups. They will be filled to the top.
Place the muffin tray in the oven and bake for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350ºF and continue to bake until a tester inserted in the middle comes out clean, another 13-15 minutes, for a total of 18 to 20 minutes.
Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before removing from the muffin tin.

Notes

Make sure to turn the oven temperature down after the first 5 minutes or the muffins will brown too quickly.
