Pineapple Cherry Surprise Mini Muffins

 

Pineapple Cherry Surprise Mini Muffins. The original recipe is Upside Down Muffins from

Taste of Home. I’m interested to try these  recipes because I love pineapple but I don’t have

yogurt. I substitute yogurt for sour cream. I know sour cream will be a good substitute for

it. The recipe’s instructions are half the cherries and put on top of each batter muffin, because

I'm not paying attention I put whole cherries first before I fill the muffin pan with batter. It

came out perfect for me even though it didn’t come out as a Pineapple Upside-Down Muffin,

it came out as a Pineapple Cherry Surprise Mini Muffin as I call it. The recipe has  good taste.

I just want to give credit to Taste of Home for the Pineapple Upside-Down Muffins,
