Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 can (8 oz) pineapple slices, drained
- 12 maraschino cherries
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper liners for easy removal.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar until combined, creating a lovely caramel mixture. Spoon a small amount of this mixture into each muffin cup.
- Place a pineapple slice in each muffin cup, and place a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple slice. This will give that beautiful upside-down look once they are done baking!
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just blended. Be careful not to overmix.
- Evenly divide the batter among the muffin cups over the pineapple and cherry layer.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before inverting them onto a serving platter. Enjoy this delicious twist on a classic dessert!
