Naturally Sweet Pineapple Muffins

These muffins have a pleasant mild pineapple flavor and a good consistency. They are great for a diabetic diet or anyone wanting a sweet treat w/o the added sugar. Much better than bakedgoods made with artificial sweeteners. For variation, I would consider using less pineapple & adding blueberries and/or nuts. I filled 17 regular size aluminum muffin cups.
