Waikiki Muffins

Looking through more of Mama's boxes of recipes, I found these... They are yummy!

1 cup crushed Pineapple
1 (14oz) Orange Muffin Mix
2/3 cup milk
1 beaten egg
~ ~ ~
4 T butter, melted
1/4 cup pecans, finely chopped
1/4 cup coconut, toasted
1 (3oz) cream cheese, softened

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Drain pineapple, thoroughly and reserve liquid. Combine muffin mix, drained pineapple milk and egg. Stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Fill greased muffin pans 2/3 full. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until golden brown. Combine pecans and coconut in a small dish. Dip tops of warm  muffins in melted butter and then in pecan and coconut mixture. Beat cream cheese with 1 T of reserve pineapple juice until fluffy. Serve with warm muffins.
