Make Your Own Muffin Recipe
This morning I experimented with some Dominican fruits (pears which are nothing like U.S. pears and mangoes that were so soft and sticking to the pit I had to squish and scrape them into the batter) to make muffins. I didn't see a recipe I liked and everyone was hungry, so I just made the recipe up. I am a cook, but not a baker. So I was very excited that the muffins were actually good!
I used almond flour, quinoa flour (which I ground in my coffee grinder), sweet potato flour (something they sell here), two eggs, lots of walnuts, almond milk, honey, black strap molasses, a drizzle of olive oil, and the mango and pear (pera)--in unmeasured quantities, of course--and baked it about 30 minutes. They were unattractive but very tasty. What usually keeps me from baking is all the measuring. I may start experimenting with muffins regularly if they keep turning out that good without having to!
[Update 8/9: I tried them again today with honeydew, strawberries, and almond slivers--they were also good! This time I added a little baking powder, but it made no noticeable difference. Though I did try coconut oil and I'm thinking the olive oil baked faster? Not sure . . .]
Anyone have some suggestion for good ingredients??
