This recipe was great! It was fun to make. My soccer team loved them and got many comments from them. They are really good too!

My 6-year old granddaughter made these as part of our "cooking classes." They are wonderful if you like the fruit and nut taste. I was especially pleased to hear her 9 year old brother claim, "They didn't need frosting," as he explained his reasons for snitching!

Everybody enjoyed these. Will tweek to my own personal tastes next time by taking out 1/2 cup sugar, as well a adding more pineapple to make them a little moister.

These were WONDERFUL! I followed the recipe as is, except I drained the pineapple only slightly and baked for about 16-18 min (some were in cupcake liners, some not. The ones in cupcake liners cooked the longer time). My recipe came out with 32 decently sized cupcakes and I didn't use all the icing... maybe 2/3 or 3/4 of the whole recipe was plenty. It honestly didn't need icing and my husband thought it would be better without. If the calories scare you, you can easily lighten this up to suit your diet/taste. If the recipe is left as is according to the amount stated, 32 cupcakes with ALL the icing would be 307 per cupcake... that knocks off 100 cal by making 8 more. You could also omit the nuts or icing or both. I tried it without nuts and without icing...both were very good! People that critisize a recipe's calorie and fat content, must not know how to make changes to it or just don't eat desserts at all... which makes me question why they would look to begin with.

Great recipe, thank you for sharing! I also want to add that I agree with MS LISA. If you don't like the ingredients, please just move on to the next recipe. We have more than enough food police! I have never smoked, I don't drink and I am not overweight so leave me and my sugar, butter etc. etc. etc. alone. I also think giving a review before trying the recipe is a waste of time. Please try the recipe and then give us your honest opinion. I would love to read if you added something to make a good recipe even better. So many of these reviews are from (I would assume) excellent cooks and I value those opinons. Thanks!
