Notes

Makes 24 muffins or 48 mini muffins
Experiment with variations: While these Coconut Pineapple Muffins are fantastic as written, you can get creative with some variations if you're feeling adventurous. Swap out the pineapple for banana or mango, or try using different types of shredded coconut like toasted or sweetened. You could even sprinkle some brown sugar or cinnamon on top of the batter before baking for an extra touch of sweetness.
