I’ve bought a couple of persimmons a while back and was waiting for them to ripen for weeks. Now when they were finally ripe, I honestly had no idea what to do with them. However, mixing fruits and oats is always a great idea in my book, so in the end I opted for these breakfast cups.

I used small silicone muffin molds to hold everything together, but you can use regular muffin molds as well. Just be sure to line them with paper liners and only add small scoops of batter to each cup, since these end up quite brittle in the end and you ideally want to end up with bite-sized cups.

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 15-20 cups / 1.36 EUR)

1 ripe persimmon (0.40 EUR)

2 tbsp coconut oil, melted (0.27 EUR)

3 tbsp date syrup (0.10 EUR)

3 tbsp vegan milk (0.04 EUR)

½ tsp ground cinnamon (0.03 EUR)

¼ tsp ground nutmeg (0.02 EUR)

¼ tsp ground cloves (0.02 EUR)

1 tsp pure vanilla extract (0.03 EUR)

Pinch of salt (0.01 EUR)

1 and ½ cups mixed rolled and instant oats (0.20 EUR)

1 tbsp ground flax seeds (0.03 EUR)

¼ tsp baking powder (0.01 EUR)

½ cup raisins (0.20 EUR)

METHOD:

Preheat the oven to 175°C. Peel and finely dice the persimmon. In a bowl, whisk together coconut oil, date syrup, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, vanilla and salt. Add in the oats, flax seeds, baking powder, diced persimmon and raisins. Stir until everything is well combined, then scoop the mixture into prepared muffin tin. I used a small ice-cream scoop for easier handling. Use you scoop or a spoon to press the batter into the muffin molds. Bake for 20 minutes, until fragrant and slightly crispy. Allow the oat cups to cool completely in their molds before attempting to remove them. Enjoy as an easy portable breakfast or as a healthy snack.

Ima već dosta vremena od kada sam kupila dvije japanske jabuke kaki te sam tjednima čekala da dozriju. Sada kada su napokon zrele, nisam imala baš nikakve ideje što bih s njima mogla napraviti. Međutim, miks voća i zobenih pahuljica uvijek mi se čini kao okej plan i tako sam nekako došla do ovih slasnih košarica.

Ja sam svoje napravila u silikonskom kalupu za mini mafine, ali možete slobodno upotrijebiti i običan kalup. Samo ga obavezno obložite papirnatim košaricama, a u svaku posudicu za mafin dodajte malu količinu smjese, pošto su ovi zalogaji u konačnici dosta krhki, pa je idealno da sve možete utrpati u usta u jednom grizu.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 15-20 košarica / 10,05 kn)

1 zrela japanska jabuka – kaki (3,00 kn)

2 žlice rastopljenog kokosovog ulja (2,00 kn)

3 žlice sirupa od datulja (0,75 kn)

3 žlice veganskog mlijeka (0,30 kn)

½ žličice cimeta (0,25 kn)

¼ žličice muškatnog oraščića (0,13 kn)

¼ žličice mljevenih klinčića (0,13 kn)

1 žličica ekstrakta od vanilije (0,20 kn)

Prstohvat soli (0,01 kn)

1 i ½ šalica mješavine sitnih i krupnih zobenih pahuljica (1,50 kn)

1 žlica mljevenih sjemenki lana (0,25 kn)

¼ žličice praška za pecivo (0,03 kn)

½ šalice grožđica (1,50 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Zagrijte pećnicu na 175°C. Ogulite i nasjeckajte kaki. U zdjelici pomiješajte kokosovo ulje, sirup od datulja, mlijeko, cimet, muškatni oraščić, klinčiće, vaniliju i sol. Dodajte zobene, lan, prašak za pecivo, sjeckani kaki i grožđice. Miješajte dok se sve ne sjedini, pa smjesu raspodijelite po pripremljenim kalupima za mafine. Ja sam za lakše grabljenje koristila malu žlicu za sladoled. Žlicom još malo utisnite smjesu u kalup za mafine. Pecite 20-tak minuta, dok košarice ne zamiriše i ne zahrskaju se. Pustite da se sve dobro ohladi u kalupima prije nego što krenete vaditi van. Papajte kao lagani prijenosni doručak ili mali zdravi snack.
