Simple muffins with mouthwatering tropical flavors! These Pina Colada Muffins combine crushed pineapple and sweet shredded coconut with a touch of rum extract for a delicious breakfast on-the-go or a tasty afternoon snack.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 24 muffin cups with cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together sugar, eggs, butter, sour cream, and rum extract until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, mixing until just incorporated.
Fold in the drained crushed pineapple and shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Fill each muffin liner about 3/4 full with batter. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for longer storage. For a more pronounced tropical flavor, garnish with additional toasted coconut before serving.
