Instructions

1
|
Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line two 12-count muffin tins with parchment paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray or grease with butter.
2
|
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in the mashed banana, drained pineapple, and coconut.
3
|
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Add to the bowl of wet ingredients and stir just until incorporated and no streaks of flour remain, being careful not to overmix.
4
|
Evenly distribute the batter between the prepared pans, filling each cup or liner to the top with batter. In a small, bowl stir together the crumble ingredients: melted butter, sugar, flour, and chopped macadamia nuts to make a crumbly mixture. Top the unbaked muffins with the crumble topping, evenly distributing the topping between all the muffins.
5
|
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling before topping with the icing.
6
|
Stir together 2-3 tablespoons of coconut milk and the powdered sugar to create a drizzle-able icing/glaze. Drizzle over the mostly cooled muffins and serve. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Drain Pineapple Perfectly 💧
    Always thoroughly drain the canned crushed pineapple using a fine-mesh strainer and gently press out excess moisture to prevent soggy muffins.
  • Macadamia Nut Crumble Secret 🥜
    Toast the macadamia nuts briefly before chopping to intensify their flavor and create a more complex, nutty crumble topping.
  • Banana Ripeness Hack 🍌
    Use overripe bananas with dark brown spots for maximum natural sweetness and moisture in your muffins.
  • Coconut Milk Pro Tip 🥥
    Shake the coconut milk can thoroughly before using and choose full-fat versions for the richest, most luxurious icing and muffin texture.
  • Muffin Mixing Method 🥄
    Mix wet and dry ingredients separately, then combine just until incorporated to ensure light, tender muffins without developing tough gluten.
