I love 'pineapple' almost as much as I love 'lime'. The mention of either get my taste buds moving! I do not remember where I first got this recipe. **If you prefer to make simple carrot muffins, omit the topping and sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped nuts over the muffins before baking, if desired.

How To Make pineapple upside down muffins
-
1Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Coat 12 muffin cups with cooking spray.
-
2FOR THE TOPPING: Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar into each muffin cup. Sprinkle nuts, if using, over the sugar. Stack pineapple slices and cut into 6 wedges. Place 2 wedges in each muffin cup.
-
3FOR THE MUFFINS: Whisk eggs and brown sugar in a medium bowl until smooth. Whisk in oil, juice and vanilla. Stir in crushed pineapple. Make a well in the dry ingredients; add the wet ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined. Stir in carrot, oats, raisins and nuts, if using. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups (they will be quite full).
-
4Bake the muffins until the tops are golden brown and firm to the touch, 15-25 minutes. Immediately loosen edges and turn muffins out onto a baking sheet. Restore any stray pineapple pieces and nuts. Let cool for at least 10 minutes. Serve upside-down, either warm or at room temperature.
-
5NOTE: Raisins used in baking are moister than regular ones. To substitute regular raisins, plump them first by soaking in boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain well.
