Asparagus-Sour Cream-Muffins image

These savoury muffins have a delicate taste of fresh green asparagus paired with black pepper and sour cream. I've made these for my daddy's birthday and thought they were great! Very unusual for a muffin, but very tasty! I hope you'll like them, too.

Time 50m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 9

280 g flour (2 1/4 cups)
7 tablespoons oil (I used sunflower)
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper (more if you like)
2 large eggs
250 g sour cream (1 cup)
225 g fresh green asparagus (trimmed and cleaned, ca. 11 stalks)
40 g grated cheese, such as gouda (1/3 cup) (optional)

Steps:

  • Toss asparagus with 1 tbs of the oil in a baking dish. Roast in the oven at 200°C/400°F for about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly, then cut asparagus into pieces (the lenth of half a finger should be just fine).
  • Combine flour, baking powder, salt and pepper in a big bowl. Make a well in the centre.
  • In a second bowl beat eggs lightly. Add sour cream and remaining oil. Pour into the well and mix until dry ingredients are just moistened (make sure not to overmix).
  • Fold in asparagus.
  • Fill dough into prepared muffin tins (well greased or paper-lined). If you like sprinkle with grated cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven at 200°C/400°F for 20 minutes or until slightly browned and tester comes out clean.

These muffins are too expensive to make. I can buy a dozen muffins at the store for less than the cost of making these.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my muffins didn't rise. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The muffins were a bit dry. I think I should have added more sour cream.

These muffins are a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more salt and pepper next time.

I'm not a big fan of asparagus, but I really liked these muffins. The sour cream mellows out the asparagus flavor.

I'm allergic to sour cream, so I used Greek yogurt instead. The muffins still turned out great!
