Hawaiian Muffins

These muffins have been a favorite with my family for several years now, ever since I first spied the Banana, Coconut, and Pineapple Muffins over at For The Love of Cooking. My boys request them often. I’ve adapted them slightly at different times and they always turn out great. We call them Hawaiian muffins (despite the fact they obviously aren’t a Hawaiian specialty) because everyone that tried them the first time I made them referred to them that way. These muffins are a truly great pineapple banana coconut treat.

If you follow a gluten-free lifestyle, here is my gluten-free version of these Hawaiian Muffins. If your family loves pineapple and coconut recipes as much as we do, you’ll want to try some Hawaiian Oatmeal too!

Hawaiian Muffin Recipe

Kitchen Tip: I use this muffin tin, these liners (best deal ever!), and this scoop to make this recipe. If you’re looking for more great muffins and quick breads to try, this Zucchini Spice Bread is the most popular bread I make. And my kids still go crazy for these Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins. All of these breads freeze nicely, making them perfect for stashing in the freezer and reheating on busy mornings. These Cinnamon Muffins are a favorite in my house. (I made them many times years ago and just now realized I don’t have the recipe saved here on the blog.)  Orange Berry Muffins and Plum and Ginger Muffins are both on my radar to try soon as well.   {originally published 5/29/11 – recipe notes and photos updated 1/27/22}
