1 (20 oz.) can crushed pineapple in syrup
1/2 C. sliced almonds or walnuts
2 C. sifted flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
3 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 C. granulated sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 C. dairy sour cream

Glaze: Combine 1 tablespoon soft butter or margarine, 1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar and 1 tablespoon syrup from drained pineapple.




Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Heavily grease large muffin tins.

Chop all but 2 tablespoons nuts. Drain pineapple and reserve syrup. Resift flour with baking soda and salt.

Beat together cheese, sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Blend in egg; continue to beat until light and fluffy. Add dry ingredients to egg mixture alternately with sour cream. Fold in drained pineapple and all but two tablespoons chopped nuts. Spoon into prepared muffin tins. Sprinkle tops with remaining nuts. Bake until muffins are light brown and test done, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand in pans for about 5 minutes. Turn onto wire rack and spread glaze over warm muffins.

Makes 12 large muffins.
