PERSIMMON MUFFINS RECIPE

Persimmon Muffins Recipe image

Provided by PrincessBransky

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 to 3 very ripe persimmons (or 1 cup smooth applesauce plus 1/4 cup carrot baby food)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup whole-wheat flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 large eggs plus 1 egg white
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, or vegetable oil
2/3 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
Turbinado sugar, for topping

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.

Tips:

Choose ripe but firm persimmons: Overripe persimmons will make the muffins too soft, while unripe persimmons will be too tart.
Use a food processor or blender to puree the persimmons: This will ensure that they are evenly distributed throughout the muffins.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the muffins tough.
Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will prevent them from overflowing in the oven.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that they are cooked through.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack: This will help them to hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Persimmon muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They are also a great way to use up ripe persimmons. With their moist texture and sweet flavor, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you have some ripe persimmons on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try!
