These look delicious – might make them this week. I bought a jar of coconut oil after reading of it’s health benefits. Am thinking it would be fantastic in this recipe in place of the vegetable oil 🙂
Are these freezable?
Thanks for this recipe, I’ve tried it today but replaced the sour creme with quark. Delicious result, too!

Up the top of the recipe under in the category (under the name) is says “Freezer Friendly” 🙂
This recipe really works. So easy and fast. My kids and husbund loved them. Thank you!
glad they loved them Jen, it’s a great combination!
Had difficulty finding crushed pineapple so blitzed regular pineapple pieces instead and it worked an absolute treat. Such beautiful texture was like a piña colada! Followed the recipe exactly and set timer for 20 mins. Perfect!
Great thinking! This is such a yummy recipe, glad you enjoyed it!
Can you use pineapple pieces???
Sure Amanda, i can’t see why not.
I made the pinapple and coconut muffins today. I didn’t have sour cream, so used regular cream instead. The kids like them, so I am happy. They have a nice tropical flavour. Just had one with tea. The recipe makes 12 generous sized muffins, but took a little longer than 20 minutes to cook. The kids and I each had one for afternoon tea and I put the rest in individual zip locks bags into the freezer. Keeping stuff like this in the freezer makes life easier in the mornings when I have to pack lunch bags.
They are so delicious, i agree with you Charmaine! Great idea on using regular cream!.:)
The pineapple coconut muffins were a huge success. Ours were gluten free and egg free (we used egg replacement) yum
Could I replace sour cream with Greek yoghurt.
I’m keen to know this to Maree.
