Pina Colada Streusel Muffins

Teresa Ambra

Do you want to taste some of the most delectable muffins in the world? Pina Colada Streusel Muffins are absolutely that! They’re filled with pineapple, coconut and coconut extract. Then they’re topped with a macadamia nut streusel topping and a vanilla cream frosting. These muffins are crunchy on the outside because of the nutty, streusel topping. They’re fruity and sweet on the inside from pineapple Greek yogurt. They are to die for, seriously!

A couple of months ago, our pastor’s wife contacted me about providing breakfast for a Ladies’ Conference the last weekend of February. I decided to make eight different kinds of streusel muffins. I made Caramel Apple Pie, Strawberry, Blueberry, Cherry, Raspberry, and these Pina Colada muffins. I also included two that were gluten free. Those were Mixed Berry and Strawberry Banana. I had a feeling that some muffins made with pineapple, coconut and macadamia nuts would be heavenly. I was right, they turned out so incredibly well.

As it happened, Dallas had several ice and snow storms the preceding week. Even the day before and the day of the conference we had more ice.  We had to scrap our original plans. My breakfast items were served for all those who came early to church that Sunday, instead. My blueberry and raspberry muffins were the first to go! The Pina Colada Streusel Muffins were probably my personal favorites out of the eight different muffins I made. But that’s because I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE coconut. Having additional coconut flavoring in the batter also increased the flavor astronomically. So for pineapple lovers (like my husband) or coconut lovers (like me), these really rate very highly.

These are exceptionally good muffins for Easter or Mother’s Day breakfast. They’re also terrific for any other holiday or special occasion breakfast. Why not give Pina Colada Streusel Muffins a try? Each bite is breathtaking. These muffins sure are a wonderful breakfast surprise. Especially if you have guests overnight or for a large country breakfast on Saturday or Sunday morning. Try them and you’ll see what I mean.

I used these ingredients for the muffins.

Place softened butter in a mixing bowl. Add pineapple Greek yogurt, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, coconut extract, salt, baking powder and baking soda.

Add UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour. Bleached flour toughens baked goods. Add drained crushed pineapple and coconut.

Spray muffin tins with cooking spray with flour. I used Pillsbury. Spoon batter into muffin tins to the top. (You can also use paper liners but spray them with cooking spray before adding muffin batter).

I used these ingredients to make the icing. Cream works much better than milk in this recipe.
