– 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained
– 1/2 cup buttermilk

– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– A pinch of salt
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
6. Gently fold in the crushed pineapple until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
