Easy Cranberry Pineapple Muffins with cranberries are tender and moist with a crunchy sugar topping. Perfect for a holiday breakfast or anytime.

I am on a bit of a cranberry kick lately.  To be honest with you I really haven’t done much with cranberries in the past.  I don’t know why but I think I made up for it this week.  I’ve used cranberries in three different recipes.

If you leftover cranberries from Thanksgiving or Christmas this is the perfect recipe to use them in.  If it isn’t cranberry season you could used dried cranberries instead.

The decision to add crushed pineapple to these muffins was a good one.  Cranberry and pineapple are a delightful combination.  The crushed pineapple add a lot of moisture to the muffin so it was light and tender.

    These muffins are so YUMMY! I wanted to make muffins with cranberries and I looked to see what other ingredient I had that I could use and it was pineapple. So I googled and there you were.. my family all loved these. Thank you for the recipe. I definitely will make again. P.S. you are right about the crunchy top.

    Wonderful idea! I just tried them today, and unfortunately they came out very dense. I think I went wrong with the pineapple, since the recipe calls for drained, I really got most of the moisture out, as I was worried it would make the batter too loose. Big mistake! Maybe I shouldn’t have drained as much.
    Good flavor, but, unless I did something very wrong, the consistency is just not desirable.
    Lovely idea though, would love to know where I went wrong!
