  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup

Instructions

  • Heat your oven to 390 degrees F.
  • In a large mixing bowl add the whisked eggs, Greek yogurt and maple syrup and combine well. You can use either a hand whisk or electric beaters to do this.
  • Sift the dry ingredients: flour and baking powder into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Use the melted butter to grease the bottom of the cupcake tin and then place your pineapple rings into each cupcake hole. Then pour the cake batter on top of the pineapple rings.
  • Bake for 25 minutes and check it's cooked through using a sharp knife or skewer inserted into the middle to make sure it comes out clean. If it doesn't, put the cupcakes back into the oven for another 5 minutes
  • Cool the cake down in its tin for at least 25 minutes and then turn it out onto a wire rack.
