MAKE-AHEAD COCONUT-PINEAPPLE MUFFINS

Make-Ahead Coconut-Pineapple Muffins image

I make and refrigerate the batter for these not-so-sweet muffins the night before. The next morning, I bake them and they are ready for breakfast or for a quick snack. I sometimes dip them in a brown sugar glaze to sweeten them up a bit.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 ½ teaspoons coconut extract
1 cup chopped fresh pineapple
½ cup sweetened shredded coconut
½ cup chopped pecans
1 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons fresh pineapple juice

Steps:

Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Set aside.
Cream sugar and butter in a second bowl with an electric mixer. Add Greek yogurt, egg, and coconut extract; beat until well combined. Add in flour mixture and mix until just combined. Fold in pineapple, coconut, and pecans. Cover and refrigerate batter for 8 to 12 hours.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
Fill each liner with batter using an ice cream scoop.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack. Cool completely before glazing.
Combine brown sugar and pineapple juice for glaze in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until sugar has melted, 20 to 25 seconds. Dip each muffin into the glaze.
