My friends and family love them. They are so moist! They go great with my dairy-free cream cheese frosting. After they cool, top with frosting and shredded coconut.

2 eggs, room temperature
1 cup white sugar

½ cup drained crushed pineapple
½ cup shredded coconut
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.
