Preparation

Step 1

First prepare mixture 1 (dry) by combining all the ingredients together in a bowl, mixing well.

In another bowl, beat the eggs together with the sugar, add the butter and the vanilla extract. Chop the canned pineapple coarsely and add it to mixture 2 with 2 tablespoons of the syrup.

Pour the wet mixture (2) into the dry mixture (1) mixing just enough to combine the ingredients, while taking note that the batter should be lumpy.

Place the batter into silicone muffin molds filling the molds to 2/3 of the quantity, sprinkle with the sliced almonds and bake at 160°C (320°F) for approximately 20 minutes.
