Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin pan with paper liners to prevent sticking.

In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and beaten egg until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the low-fat milk. Start by adding a third of the flour mixture, then half of the milk, and repeat until everything is combined. Make sure to beat the mixture until it's smooth.
5
Gently fold in the prepared pineapple chunks until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6
Spoon the cupcake batter evenly into the lined muffin pan, filling each liner about two-thirds full.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops of the cupcakes spring back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8
Once baked, let the cupcakes cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove them from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

After cooling, feel free to top your cupcakes with your favorite frosting or enjoy them plain for a light tropical treat.
