Pineapple Rice Krispie Muffins #MuffinMonday

These are not light and airy muffins.  They are dense and moist.  My husband describes them as a cross between a muffin and a cookie.  

It's time for Muffin Monday.......

I don't always think before I act.  I was making some Peanut Butter and Pretzel Crispy Treats and bought this HUGE box of Rice Krispies when I was at Costco.  I like Rice Krispies, especially with a banana sliced up in it, but come on......There is enough cereal in that box for me to eat it for a year!!

Now I am looking for ways to use it, so decided to make these muffins for today's event.  I found the recipe on the Kellogs website.  I adapted it slightly, leaving off the streusel but I'm sure they would have been prettier had I included it.  I also did not add ginger because I missed that when I was reading the recipe while making them.

I was very disappointed when I pulled them out of the oven and that was when I realized that I had also forgotten to add the baking powder.  So these muffins without baking powder were very dense and moist but still delicious.  I am printing the recipe to INCLUDE the baking powder.  I am sure that your muffins will turn out much better than mine.

I used dried cranberries instead of raisins, because I also bought a HUGE bag of those at Costco.  Remind me not to go there when I'm hungry!!!
