Spiced Pineapple Muffins are great as a hors d’oeuvres or even for an exciting bread option with a meal.
The base is a sour cream muffin which is good just by itself. They are so moist and crunchy.
You can add any topping that you wish even jam. My family likes it with a little extra spice.
I was having friends over one night and these were a great hors d’oeuvres.
The topping is pineapple cooked down with sugar and red pepper.
I chose this topping because I love this pineapple just over a block of cream cheese. Serve it with crackers and you are party ready.
My son thinks all foods should be spicy but I don’t agree. However, with this one the spicy red pepper flakes compliment the sweetness of the pineapple.
You can add more or less pepper flakes depending on what you like.
I drained about half of the juice out of the pineapple. If you leave more it will be a little runny.
It’s your choice if you want it more like a jam or a little more runny to soak into the muffins.
I try to get it in between the two so that just a little bit of the juice soaks into the muffin.
I used a small muffin pan to make these bite size and delicious.
