Pineapple Orange Muffins

These aren't even out of my oven yet, but they smell amazing and I've already had requests for the recipe. So here it is. I will tell you that I doubled the recipe, which made 2 dozen muffins. And I used 1 cup Pineapple juice, and 1 cup Orange juice.

I have a new obsession with Muffin Tops. If you have never had one, you are missing out. They are so delicious. I received 2 muffin top pans for my birthday last Saturday and have already made 5 batches of different home made muffin tops.

2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
4 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tbsp orange zest
1 cup pineapple or orange juice
1/4 cup shortening, melted, or vegetable oil
1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Mix together dry ingredients.
3. In a separate bowl, beat together egg, orange zest, juice, shortening/oil and crushed pineapple. Add dry ingredients and mix just to combine, do not over mix. Scoop into lined muffin tins and bake for 25-30 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.

Edited:

My first batch of Muffin Tops I baked at 375 (my pans are dark, non-stick) for 18 minutes. They were a little over done. My second two pans I put in at 350 for 12-13 mins and they came out perfect!

I think next time I will try adding some mandarin oranges as well as the pineapple tidbits.
