Sharing Recipes--Pineapple Banana Muffins

I love eating pineapple all year round. One cup of fresh pineapple chunks contains 75 calories and provides 25 mg of vitamin C. Pineapples also contains thiamine, folate, vitamin B6, iron and manganese.

The following recipe combines pineapples and bananas into tender, moist, and delicious muffins that keep and freeze well.

Enjoy!
