Prepare a Mini Non-stick Muffin Pan by spraying it with non-stick baking spray.

If you don't have non-stick spray, use paper liners or brush with butter or shortening.

Using an ice cream scooper, scoop the muffin batter into the pan, filling each hole generously.

Ensure the fruit salad ingredients are evenly distributed in the batter.

Bake the muffins for approximately 20-25 minutes until they rise and the tops are browned.

After baking, remove the muffins and check for moisture inside.

Dust the muffins generously with powdered sugar for decoration.
