Ingredients
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups mashed ripe banana (about 3 large)
- 1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut
- Easy Cream Cheese Frosting
- Dried Pineapple Flowers
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.with rack in center. Line cupcake pan with paper liners; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter, vanilla, and sugar until combined, about 2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, incorporating each before adding the next. Beat at medium speed until mixture is pale yellow and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
In a medium bowl, stir together banana, pineapple, walnuts, and coconut. Add to egg mixture, mixing until combined. Stir in flour mixture.
Divide batter evenly among liners, filling about 2/3 full. Bake, rotating pans halfway through, until golden brown and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 28 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cupcakes have cooled, use a small offset spatula to frost tops of each cupcake. Decorate with dried pineapple flowers, if desired. Serve at room temperature.

We baked minis today for 14 minutes with paper liners. Before, we used no liners for 16 minutes. We have used only fresh pineapple, and either freshly grated or sweetened coconut (the latter was today - not too sweet). These are delicious and surprisingly light. The yield today was 90 minis in two oven batches. The cupcakes are indeed golden brown as the book says (M-S Cupcakes -2009 edition - same as online recipe). Great banana flavor comes through strongest. Children & adults all enjoy.

Awesome. A definite keeper. Used all walnuts (added another 1/2 c. because we love them). Definitely makes more than 24 cupcakes, by about 5-6. I had three disposable paper bakers (single serve type...bigger than a cupcake, smaller than a mini loaf) and they worked out perfectly! Love this in Spring especially.

The BEST cupcakes I have ever made. I could eat the batter just by itself! The batter makes a ton, so it's perfect for a crowd.

By far the BEST recipe for hummingbird cupcakes that I've ever tried! These are absolutely delicious, very moist, and tender, I definitely recommend it!

These cupcakes turned out awesome. The only things that I would point out is that my bake time was about 15 minutes, not 25. Also my plan was to make two batches (48 cupcakes) but I ended up with about 62 cupcakes. Not necessarily a bad thing, I just may need more cream cheese for the frosting.

A friend surprised me with this fabulous full-sized cake for my birthday. It was fabulous...the entire crowd oohed and aahed over it. She remembered I don't like coconut and so left it out.......DELICIOUS. I'm making it in cupcake form with chick and bunny peeps on top instead of the pineapple fpr my family's Easter get-together.

These cupcakes were AMAZING! They were super duper moist without being fragile. The flavor tastes mostly like banana, but you can still taste the pineapple and coconut if you pay attention. They were definitely one of the best cupcakes I have ever made!

Instead of making cupcakes, I just made a 2 layer cake. It turned out great. Everybody in my family loved it. Instead of dried pineapple flowers, I topped my cake with walnuts. Delish!

I made these for a birthday dinner for 2 of my good friends. I too had difficulty with the dried pineapple flowers so I topped each with a pansey flower. They looked great! I tiered 2 glass cake plates with doilies....they were a hit!

These cupcakes are the best! I made them for my family 3 days ago and they're already gone! And don't skip the cream-cheese icing...it's a must.

I made them with and without the coconut and they were fabulous either way. I had trouble making the pineapple shape so I just rolled it to look like a rose.

I made the Cake version of this cupcake twice, but both times I had problems making the Pineapple dried out slices. I tried making them thiner, thicker, hotter setting or lower etc. but didn't succeed very well.
Any one have any hints?

i LOVED these. Due to an error in shopping, i made one batch with pineapple tidbits and the pieces were delightful! i recommend pecans (walnuts are the other choice given) since they capture the tropical feel in a lovely way. i may reduce the butter a wee bit in future by substituting unsweetened applesauce; that works well in most recipes. These are lovely and moist when baked and DELICIOUS! They comprised 48 of the 100 cupcakes i made for my Grandma's 100th!
