You can also add a handful of shredded coconut or chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture. Make sure to drain the crushed pineapple well before mixing to avoid excess moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh pineapple instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh pineapple, but you'll need to finely chop it and possibly reduce the amount to avoid excess moisture. Make sure to press out any juice before mixing it into the batter.
How can I make these muffins healthier?
To make these muffins healthier, you can substitute half of the cake mix with whole wheat flour and use unsweetened applesauce instead of some of the pineapple. This will reduce sugar content while adding fiber.
What can I add to enhance the flavor?
You can enhance the flavor by adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter. Also, consider mixing in some vanilla extract or almond extract for a unique twist.
