Every trip through the grocery store my son begs me to buy a pineapple. Of all the things to be begging for, pineapple isn’t so bad, is it? A little prickly to cut up, but it brings the taste of summer into the kitchen no matter what the time of year. This recipe for tropical almond flour muffins is sure to please. Topping them with coconut flakes gives the look of sprinkles – and who doesn’t love sprinkles?

- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

so yummy yummy, really good recipe. thanks for your share.
If you use 1/2 c. Tapioca flour in place of 1/2 c. Almond flour, the muffins will hold together. They are a little dense. So, I would not drain the pineapple. I also found the coconut flakes to be too chewy. I would use shredded coconut in recipe and the flakes on top. I also added 1/8 teas. Coconut extract. They’re tasty.
What is the C for almond flour? Is it a cup?
Yes :)
Should the canned pineapple be drained and then measured?
I made similar muffins and I drained the pineapple and then wrapped in guaze and squeezed as much liquid out as I could before measuring.
These sound like the perfect summer muffin and I actually have all of these ingredients in my house all of the time ~ definitely must make them next time we have a nice cool evening where running the oven doesn’t sound awful. Thank you!
It’s not clear if the pineapple is drained before measuring, but I am assuming it is. If it doesn’t work out I’ll be back to let other readers know.
Followed recipe but the muffins didn’t hold up, even after I baked for an extra 15 minutes. They were still uncooked and falling apart.
