    Pineapple Cupcakes with Ginger Lime Frosting | 5DollarDinners.com

    You’re going to see a number of pineapple recipes in the coming weeks, as I scored a few couple of cans of pineapple in 100% juice on clearance at Target. I do my best to avoid Target and the ‘inevitable $100 tag’ that seems to happen whenever I walk in there. But I will go in for special deals (like the Huggies diaper deal this past week (sale price &$2 off coupons & $10 gift card when you bought 2) on things that we need/use regularly. And I know where all of the clearance end caps are in the entire store…and I quickly cruise past them in the event that I see some overstock on clearance. As is the case with a couple of cans of pineapple.

    I’ve got a pineapple curry coming your way, inspired by takeout curry dish I had when I was with my sister in Pittsburgh last month. And a shredded pineapple chicken too. Both are mouthwatering delicious!

    I’ll share them as soon the skillet dinner series comes to an end!

    In the meantime, can I tempt you with these pineapple cupcakes…topped with a frosting that will make your taste buds tingle. Seriously, fresh lime + fresh ginger will make them tingle.

    Pineapple Cupcakes with Ginger Lime Frosting

    Delightful flavor in these melt-in-your-mouth cupcakes!
    Prep Time20 minutes
    Cook Time18 minutes
    Servings - 24 cupcakes

    Ingredients 

    Cupcake Ingredients

    • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
    • 3 tsp baking powder
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 1/2 cup sweetened coconut flakes
    • 8 oz can crushed pineapple drained
    • 1/4 cup coconut oil
    • 1 tsp vanilla
    • 3 eggs
    • 3/4 cup milk

    Frosting Ingredients

    • 8 oz. cream cheese softened
    • 4 cups powdered sugar
    • Fresh zest and juice from two limes
    • 1 tablespoon ginger root peeled and finely grated (This is the root you get in the produce section, NOT dried, ground ginger powder. I used a zester to grate the ginger, but the fine grate side of a box grater should work fine.)

    Instructions

    Cupcake Directions

    • Preheat oven to 350. Prepare muffin pan with parchment paper cups. They don't stick. Really!
    • In small bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and coconut flakes.
    • In large bowl, combine pineapple, coconut oil, vanilla, and eggs. Mix until blended well. (If you don’t have coconut oil, canola oil will work too.)
    • Add in dry ingredients to the wet. Mix until a thick batter forms.
    • Slowly add in ½ cup milk. The batter should be thick but still pour-able. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time if you need to thin it a bit.
    • Fill baking cups 2/3 full with batter. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
    • Cool completely before frosting.

    Frosting Directions

    • In large bowl, beat all ingredients until smooth.
    • Spread frosting onto cooled cupcakes and serve immediately.
