Mahalo Muffins

"Mahalo" means "thank you" and those are the words you'll hear when you make these moist orange, pineapple and coconut muffins.

Ingredients:

• 1 14 ounce package orange muffin mix
• 1/2 cup flaked coconut
• 1 cup crushed canned pineapple, drained
• 1 beaten egg
• 2/3 cup milk
• 1/4 cup crushed macadamia nuts

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine all ingredients. Mix only until dry ingredients are moistened--do not over mix. Fill greased muffin pans 2/3 full. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until done.

Number of Servings: 12-14

Notes from the Cook: Mahalo Muffins are quick and easy to make. A winter brunch almost seems like a trip to the Hawaiian Islands when you serve this delicious treat.
