Pineapple Turmeric Cupcakes with Coconut Frosting

So I had this idea to make the simplest pineapple cupcake ever based on these easiest/healthiest/yummiest ever chocolate cupcakes with crushed pineapple in place of the dates. Because dates and crushed pineapple are practically the same thing, right?

Spoiler alert: wrong. Pineapple has a bit more liquid than dates. Just a smidge.

Pineapple Turmeric Cupcakes with Coconut Frosting

Batch #1 came out of the oven looking…okay. Looking like cupcakes that hadn’t quite hit their fluffy dome-top growth spurt yet. Then I picked one up. And realized it had the density of fudge. Fudge made out of rocks (recipe loosely adapted from Hagrid, of course). And while I love fudge, cupcake-shaped pineapple fudge was not the plan. Now pineapple-shaped cupcake fudge, that would’ve been a different story…

But the plan for this recipe was fluffy and frosting-worthy and golden gosh darnit!

Pineapple Turmeric Cupcakes with Coconut Frosting

So I nixed the dump-an-entire-can-of-crushed-pineapple-in-the-batter part of the recipe, and went halfsies with dates and crushed pineappple. The second batch was sweeter and softer and all around more scrumptious, but the color was a little meh. So I added turmeric to batch #3 and they glowed! And I frosted them and smushed coarsely-shredded coconut all over their perfect little domed heads because that felt like the tropically-appropriate thing to do. And they tasted like paradise if paradise were made of really yummy cake.

Blending the batter. Before you scurry off to make these, we need to talk about blending. Specifically over-blending the batter after you add the flour and the sad gummy texture that may will result. So if you want fluffyamazing cupcakes, you have to blend for just the briefest of moments.

On the first blend with just the fruits and liquids, blend till your heart’s content and your mixture is chunk-free. But after you add the flour, blend carefully. If you hit the ten second mark you have gone way too far my friend. Even if there are still a few little bits of un-mixed flour stuck to the sides of the blender, just stir those in by hand to be on the safe side.

Pineapple Turmeric Cupcakes with Coconut Frosting

The name Pineapple Coconut Turmeric Cupcakes felt like way too many descriptors for a lil golden cup of cake, so one of those words had to be voted off this island. Alas, coconut drew the short straw palm frond. Actually pineapple had fruity immunity and turmeric made them 17 times prettier to look at especially when the sun hits those fluffy insides juuuuuust right, so coconut was the only choice. Coconut, you understand. I’ll give you a special “with…” mention on the pin. Promise.

The cupcakes themselves are not overly sweet since the only sugar in them is fruit sugar, that’s why I love a not-small serving of coconut whipped cream frosting on top. You could drizzle them with this lemony (but actually secretly pineapple based…shhhh) glaze lusciousness instead. Or you could just leave them naked and call them muffins if it makes ya happy. Your choice–I pass the baking baton to you. By the way the baton is a pineapple, so go make cupcakes with it. Also watch out for the pokey bits.

Description

These Pineapple Turmeric Cupcakes are a healthy tropical treat with a superfood sunshine glow and fluffy-sweet coconut frosting!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple
  • 8 pitted medjool dates
  • 1/2 cup light coconut milk ((or any non-dairy milk))
  • 1 1/4 cup oat flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric

Coconut Frosting

  • Cream from a 15-oz can of full-fat coconut milk, chilled ((*see note))
  • 1–2 tbsp sweetener of choice
  • Unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
  2. In a blender, combine the pineapple, dates, and coconut milk. Blend on high until well combined.
  3. Add the oat flour, baking powder, and turmeric. Blend very briefly just to combine.
  4. Divide into 6 lightly greased muffin cups filling each 3/4 of the way. Smooth the tops.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes at 350F. 
  6. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
  7. For the frosting, whisk/beat together the coconut cream and sweetener until light and smooth.
  8. Frost your cooled cupcakes, top with shredded coconut, and enjoy!

Notes

*Or you can use a couple of these little cans of coconut cream, they tend to have even better texture for frosting

      Another fruit puree like mango would work, or even applesauce. Or you can increase the amount of dates to 12 (about 1 cup packed) and the nondairy milk to 1 cup and they will work just fine with the dates alone 🙂

    These have a brighter glow than most people I know!! That little turmeric, man, it’s so powerful! These are gorgeous. You really can’t go wrong with the coconut and pineapple combo, and adding some turmeric to the mix helps them emit a hue to draw even more attention to the deliciousness you’re about to experience! Although I can definitely relate to title issues – forever too many seemingly necessary words! And oh nooo, so sad about you first batch of rock cakes! Bet they still tasted better than Hagrid’s. These are just about PERFECT for spring/summertime, Natalie, they look awesome!!

      Your first sentence is true and also kinda funny and also rhymes–I love it! 😀 Ugh I know, that title bar is never long enough for all the descriptors and ingredients I want to cram inside. Ha yes somehow I don’t think there are many pineapples growing in the Forbidden Forest so mine were probably a bit more fruity and sweet than Hagrids 😀 Hope your monday had a bit of turmeric-level brightness in it too!

    You say, “tropical.” I say, “YUM!” “Tropical!” “YUM!” Haha. Nothing like a deliciously new, inventive and decidedly summer-esque recipe from my bestie to make Monday so much less Monday. Dates v. Crushed Pineapple. The verdict is: blergh!! But that’s what I love about ya, you’re always willing to kitchen experiment the heck out of IT. Yes, IT! Blending: Yes!! That’s why I’m always so anxious about blender muffins: gummy muffins are the worst! Thanks for the awesome tips, Nat. Now I’ll just be dreaming that that perfectly half-split cupcake is ALL mine! xoxo Love ya!

      I think oat flour is partially to blame for the blender muffin -> gummy muffin problem though. Almond flour or (if you somehow discovered a hidden secret to making muffins out of) coconut flour don’t seem as gummy-risky. Just guessing though, no personal experience here. You can have BOTH halves of the half split cupcake–all yours because you have exciting stuff happening over there and stuff that may require some extra sunshine snack fuel☀️ xoxo

    Ok, I think the turmeric gods are speaking to me because this is the 2nd day in a row I’ve seen turmeric muffins! Maybe it’s the Spring theme that should be happening in my kitchen right now. These are just glowing bright and beautiful. Unfortunately, I don’t like pineapple…wahhhhh! I know I’m a total weirdo. I bet it gives some wonderful moisture and flavor to these cupcakes and hello, coconut cream frosting is one of my fave frostings to use because it’s so creamy and light and honestly doesn’t need much sweetener at all, especially if the cupcakes/muffins are on the sweet side. Lol at the title issue…seriously, sometimes the hardest part about a recipe to me is coming up with the name for it, haha! Well, the name for these is perfect and they are just screaming spring and summer at the same time!

      You don’t like pineapple either?? ? Wow the fruity favorites list just gets more and more exclusive! But you should totally turmeric it up sans pineapple/fruit. I always seem to pair it with yellow fruit flavors like lemon and mango, but it can fly solo too. I mean you have to embrace those recipe messages from the universe when they come, ya know!? ? Mmm yes I agree 100% on the coconut frosting. I rarely sweeten it for myself, it’s just that fluffy creamy texture next to cake/cookies/baked things that I adore so much❤️

    Where do I collect my pineapple baton? I’m ready ??

    I love the golden turmeric glow. About the moisture — so been there trying to come up with a pineapple cake before. Also strawberries — and it’s not just the extra moisture you have to contend with but also the acidity which can make doming impossible in some scenarios… So your little cupcakes are pretty darn perfect in every respect ?

      Take the pineapple and run like the wind Audrey!! LOL Hmmm hadn’t even thought about the acidity piece…although sometimes a little acidity is good for leavening! It’s funny how what seems like a simple ingredient swap never is quite so simple 😀

    • Natalie says

      April 28, 2017 at 8:40 pm

      Yes, 1 tbsp is correct. It is a lot, but all that fruit would make them really dense without the leavening power. If you are worried about the metallic taste you can decrease to 2 tsps, but I’ve never had a problem with it in this recipe or any of my other cupcake recipes with the same amount 🙂

      Hi Rebecca! Oh yay, I am happy to hear that we have the same preferences when it comes to ingredients 🙂 I have not made this pineapple version into a cake before, but I have made my similar date-based chocolate cupcake recipe into a cake many times. One batch this size will make a single layer 8″ round cake or if you use a 6″ round pan it will be thick enough to slice into two layers. The ingredient amounts should be fine as is, it will just need to bake longer–approximately 30-35 minutes. Test the center after 30 and it should feel firm/bounce back. Getting the center to cook completely and not fall after you take it out is the only real potential issue with a larger cake. I hope all that makes sense, let me know if not, and good luck!

    hi,

    I live in Germany and as far as I know, we don’t have crushed pineapples here. I would love to bake these for my daughter’s birthday though, so I need your help: is that like a purree or are there pieces in it? so can i replace it by something liquid or would that be too moist?

    thank you 🙂

      It’s like a chunky applesauce consistency, so a liquid would not work in it’s place. You could use applesauce or mashed banana instead, or if you don’t care about the pineapple part and have access to dates maybe try this recipe instead: https://www.feastingonfruit.com/healthy-vanilla-cake-chocolate-fudge-frosting/ It can be made into cupcakes too, just bake them for less time (25 minutes). And there is a chocolate version too if you prefer. Hope that helps, let me know if not!

    Hi, I used fresh pineapple and I even added a bit of more flour (1-2tbsp) as it was quite liquid, but it didn’t work well… they didn’t bake, and were still moist inside (kept them for a bit longer as well in the oven). Do you think I should reduce the amount of milk? or try to drain the pineapple before? Thanks!

    • Natalie says

      July 14, 2017 at 8:54 am

      Aw bummer. I would start with draining the pineapple, the fresh vs crushed is probably the biggest difference. And make sure not to over blend the batter either after you add the flour, that can make the inside texture gummy. Hope the next batch goes better!

      Hi Daniela! Hmm oranges are much more watery so pureed oranges would have quite a different consistency than pureed pineapple. What I might suggest instead for an orange-y cupcake is to sub the water in this recipe with orange juice: https://www.feastingonfruit.com/everything-free-vanilla-cupcakes-2/

    Dear Natalie,

    I’m planning on making this for my mother but her health condition prevents her from consuming dried fruits but welcomes pineapple greatly in her diet. If I were to omit the dates, should I be increasing the pineapple (I’m using fresh as she does not like the taste of canned ones) and if yes, by how many cups? If pulling an all-pineapple thing is not recommended, what is your suggestion for me to replace the dates that would be best to complement the pineapple?

    Reply
    • Natalie says

      August 9, 2018 at 7:44 pm

      Unfortunately swapping the dates for more pineapple won’t work, the pineapple adds SO much more moisture that it will make the cupcakes mushy and not cook through properly. There is no perfect sub for the dates in this recipe, they are pretty essential. But maybe try this date-free cake recipe instead: https://www.feastingonfruit.com/lemon-yogurt-bundt-cake/#tasty-recipes-15780 And you could use crushed pineapple in place of some or all of the yogurt and swap the lemon juice for non-dairy milk😊 I think that will work better!

        OK where do I start coz I have so many to write lol…

        First and foremost, I”m throwing a tantrum here as you responded to my question too late that I had already baked them when you replied! (j/k on the tantrum ha ha). It’s my fault mostly ha ha.. should have not asked a technical ques too close to the time planned on trying out a recipe.

        Anyways, I couldn’t wait longer and had to bake as I was planning on visiting my mom who lives in another state about 3 hours away the next day. I baked them fingers crossed with ALL fresh pineapple, crushed, measured at 1 and 1/2 cup total, waited for them to cool, got your reply, and turned out something urgent came up and I couldn’t visit my mom as planned and had to postpone to the next day lmao.

        So…. my recipe was, for the benefit of other readers who MAY be interested, everything as per your recipe except that I omitted date altogether, and replaced those with 1/2 cup of crushed fresh pineapple. My pineapple was quite watery, but I did not squeeze the juices out, but (can I use two ‘buts’ one sentence after another, consecutively? Sorry I’m not that clever ha ha) I also tried not to include all the juices that was left on the cutting board (I just chopped them into tiny bits before measuring).
        Aaaaaannddd whaddya know? They baked up beautifully, NOT mushy at all inside, all spongey and moist! Is that a success or is that a success? He he….

        I did not have coconut cream on hand, so I whipped up 7 minute frosting, lightly iced the top and sprinkled toasted shredded coconuts liberally on top. My mom loved them.

        A HUGE BIG THANKS TO YOU for coming up with this recipe. I just love your recipes as they uses few ingredients but they are certainly not lacking in taste.

        And oh… if anyone’s interested in the calorie count, mine came up with 110 kcal per cupcake without frosting and topping.

    Hello!

    I followed your recipe, but used almond flour instead of oat flour because I was feeling too lazy to make it (which now I feel silly for), and they ended up looking like toasted cups of mush. Where did I go wrong? Should I have used a different amount of almond flour (I’m a noob at gluten free baking)?

    Thank you!

      March 23, 2020 at 1:41 pm

      Almond flour doesn’t work as a sub for oat flour, its MUCH more moist than oat flour so that is what went wrong. Sorry! You have to make a lot of adjustments to swap between the two flours and still make it taste good, so I’d recommend sticking with recipes designed for almond flour! Hope that helps 🙂

Freeze overnight. Defrost about 5 minutes, then gently remove from the pan using the parchment strips or a dull knife to pop them out. Enjoy!

-1/2–2/3 cup water

-1 cup (170g) dark chocolate chips

Blend pumpkin, dates, 1/2 cup water, spice, and salt. Add more water slowly as necessary until you have a thick paste. Transfer to a mixing bowl and stir in coconut flour until you have a ball of dough. Shape into a rectangle approximately 3/4 inch thick. Freeze for at least 2 hours until firm.

Melt the chocolate chips (optionally add 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil for a thinner/smoother coating). Remove the dough from the freezer and slice into 12 rectangles. Dip each into the melted chocolate coating on all sides. Transfer to a pan or plate lined with wax paper. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set. Store in the fridge.

NO-CHURN CHOCOLATE SOFT SERVE🤎 Spooning down da NO-CHURN CHOCOLATE SOFT SERVE🤎 Spooning down dairy-free soft serve daily until the weather forces me to switch to stop🍦 If you don’t own a creami, THIS is the ultimate easy blender method!

INGREDIENTS
-15oz can coconut milk
-1 cup nut/seed butter of choice (I used sunbutter)
-1/4 cup maple syrup
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-1/2 tsp salt
-Toppings of choice

Pour coconut milk (shake before opening) into an ice cream tray and freeze overnight . Blend the cubes + remaining ingredients in a high speed blender until smooth. You will need to use the tamper and stop to scrape down the sides frequently, try to avoid adding extra liquid. Spoon into bowls as is. Or transfer to a piping bag, freeze for 30 mins or so, then swirl into bowls or cones for the “froyo” look. Top and enjoy!

It’s ice-cream-is-the-only-dessert-I-crave time It’s ice-cream-is-the-only-dessert-I-crave time of year, and this DAIRY-FREE ROCKY ROAD ICE CREAM always hits the spot🤎 My favorite mix-ins, creamy creamy no-churn choc base, and choose-your-own softserve or scoopable texture adventure🍦🍨

1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Optional: brownie chunks (recipe link in my stories)

Freeze the coconut cream in ice cube trays overnight. Blend the coconut cream cubes with cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt in a high speed blender until smooth. Add a little nondairy milk if needed to blend. In a pan or dish, layer ice cream > marshmallows, walnuts, chocolate chips, brownie chunks > repeat. Freeze for 30-60 minutes until scoop-able. It will be creamiest the day you make it, but will keep a few days in the freezer (remove 5-10 minutes to soften before eating)
