Doesn’t something tropical sound good right about now? We are having real winter weather here right now, and I’m feeling the need for some tropical heat. Since that isn’t going to happen for a while, I decided to do the next best thing – cook some tropical foods. Pina colada muffins came to mind, and they turned out to be really good. I thought you might like these muffins, too. You probably have most of the ingredients in your pantry, and they don’t take long to make. Plus, they freeze well. Give them a try this weekend. This recipe came from Allrecipes.com .

This is a great treat for an after-school snack, afternoon tea, breakfast, or brunch. If you add a glaze to it using the drained liquid from the pineapple, it would very easily make a dessert.
