Steps

10 mins

1

Pre heat oven to 350. Line muffin tin with paper liners
2

In a bowl. Combine flour, baking powder, baking salt and salt. Set aside.
3

Melt the butter and whisk the granulated and light brown sugar into a bowl. Add the pineapple, coconut milk, vanilla while you continually whisk. Now add the dry mix while you continue to whisk. Do this for a couple minutes (depending on how fast you can go) until it's creamy with no chunks!
4

Pour mixture 2/3 full in the muffin tin spots. Place in the oven. Cook for 20 minutes. Like with a toothpick to make sure it's cooked through, set aside to cool!
5

Now this I didn't have a blender to use so it's possible without! For the icing. Whisk the softened butter. Combine all ingredients and whisk together until it reaches a light and fluffy-esque appearance.
6

Decorate the top with the amazingly refreshing icing and some chunks from a pineapple (or a cherry!) everyone will love it!
