  • 2 cups grated carrot
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, chopped into 1⁄2 cm pieces 1⁄2 cup canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced) and line a 12-hole standard muffin tray with paper cases.
  2. In a large mixing bowl combine flour, cinnamon, sugar and coconut together, stirring until well combined. Add carrot and pineapple, stirring until well combined.
