A super easy breakfast, snack or dessert idea made with just a few ingredients.

These quick and easy muffins are incredibly moist and delicious! They are perfect for breakfast, sweet snacks or even dessert with a little cream cheese or frosting. They are made with just a handful of cheap ingredients including a box of Betty Crocker carrot cake mix, crushed pineapple, eggs, oil and chopped pecans.

Carrot cake has always been one of my favorite desserts, and these carrot muffins really hit the spot. The base recipe is very simple with basic pantry staples, but you could also add to the recipe with raisins, finely shredded carrot, coconut and more.

Try them with a little cream cheese spread over top! Yum. 🙂

How To Make Carrot Cake Muffins

  • Start off by draining the pineapple juice and reserving the pineapple AND juice for later.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, drained pineapple, vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of the reserved pineapple juice. Add the dry cake mix and pecans; blend until smooth.
  • The batter should be fairly thick, but if too stiff, add a little bit more of the pineapple juice.
  • Bake in a 350 degree oven for 18-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
