Persimmon Muffins With Lemon And Cardamom Recipes

PERSIMMON MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
• Beat egg in a bowl. Stir in persimmon pulp, oil, and milk.
• Combine flour, walnuts, sugar, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Stir flour mixture into persimmon mixture; mix until just moistened. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and tops spring back when lightly touched, 19 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan or two 24-cup mini-muffin pans with paper liners. Cut the persimmons in half and scoop out the pulp into a food processor; pulse until smooth.
• Combine the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon and lemon zest in a large bowl. Whisk 1 1/4 cups of the persimmon puree (or the applesauce and carrot baby food), the eggs, egg white, melted butter and yogurt in a small bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (it's fine if the batter is lumpy).
• Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each three-quarters of the way. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar and bake until a toothpick comes out clean, 20 to 24 minutes for regular muffins or 14 to 18 minutes for mini muffins. Cool slightly in the pan, then transfer the muffins to a rack.
