Step-by-Step Instructions for Easter Pineapple Muffins
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare your muffin tin by greasing it or lining with muffin liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Drain the crushed pineapple and reserve ¼ cup of juice; save 2 tablespoons of pineapple for topping.
  4. Mix the drained pineapple, reserved juice, milk, egg, and melted butter into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter into the muffin tins, filling each about three-quarters full, and top each with reserved pineapple.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the cold butter, flour, and sugar to make the streusel topping until crumbly.
  7. Sprinkle the streusel over the muffins and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Cool the muffins in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Ensure the crushed pineapple is well-drained to avoid overly wet muffins. Avoid overmixing for tender muffins. Use cold butter for the streusel for the best texture.
