Apologies for such a long time between updates! We have both been so busy with work and social life... but we promise we didn't forget about you!
Today our recipe is a run on from our poached quince recipe! If you make the poached quinces, you should DEFINITELY make these quince muffins! These went so fast and were super delicious. They're easy to make too!
So here's what you'll need:
- 1 Cup of pureed poached quinces (previously made here)
- 12 individual slices of poached quince (for "garnishing")
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup oil
- 3 tbsp milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups plain flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
Now, in one bowl you want to whisk together the pureed quince, sugar, oil, eggs and mil. In another bowl you should combine together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. My baking soda was a bit lumpy, so i put it through a sifter. Right on.
Now the next part is a little bit delicate - you mix the wet ingredients into the dry, but you don't want to mix it TOO much, otherwise you will end up with rock cakes! (if the mixture looks a bit lumpy, don't worry about it, it's fiiiiine.)
So, your next step is just to divide the mixture into your muffin tray, and then very gently lay a slice of quince on the top of each muffin. Now all you have left to do is pop them in the oven for about 20 mins - just until they start to look brown on the top... you can do the 'tooth-pick-trick' if you're worried about them not being properly cooked.
How easy was that??! And they taste like little muffin miracles... don't take my word for it, make them and try it yourself! A-MA-ZING.
