If you remember my story about having some persimmons lying around, here is what I did with the other one. This batch of muffins is a bit on the smaller side, but definitely bigger than being a half-batch. I ended up with 10 muffins, so I don’t really suggest doubling up the recipe for bigger yield, unless you of course have an extra set of muffin tins lying around.

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 10 muffins / 0,19 EUR per muffin / 1,97 EUR for all)

1 ripe persimmon (0.40 EUR)

1 egg (0.20 EUR)

1 tsp pure vanilla extract (0.03 EUR)

2 tbsp sour cream (0.13 EUR)

½ cup milk (0.10 EUR)

3 tbsp butter, melted (0.40 EUR)

3 tbsp sugar (0.02 EUR)

1 and ½ cup all-purpose flour (0.13 EUR)

Pinch of salt (0.01 EUR)

½ tsp baking powder (0.01 EUR)

¼ tsp baking soda (0.01 EUR)

½ cup chopped walnuts (0.33 EUR)

½ cup raisins (0.20 EUR)

METHOD:

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Lightly grease your muffin tins with a bit of oil or butter, but skip this step if using silicone muffin molds. Peel and dice the persimmon, then puree until smooth. Whisk in the egg, vanilla, cream and milk then stir the melted butter into the mixture. Add in sugar, flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda and stir until just combined and no lumps remain. Finally, fold in chopped walnuts and raisins.

Divide the batter between prepared muffin tins and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the tops are nice and golden brown. Leave the muffins to cool for about 5 minutes in their molds before transferring to a rack to cool off completely.

Ako se sjećate moje pričice o dvije japanske jabuke – kaki, evo gdje sam upotrijebila onu drugu koja mi je bila preostala. Ova runda mafina je nešto manja, ali definitivno ju ne bih zvala polovicom smjese. Meni je ispalo sve skupa 10 mafina, pa nemojte duplati recept, osim ako naravno nemate i dupli set kalupa za mafine.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 10 mafina / 1,44 kn po mafinu / 14,42 kn za sve)

1 zrela japanska jabuka kaki (3,00 kn)

1 jaje (1,50 kn)

1 žličica ekstrakta od vanilije (0,20 kn)

2 žlice kiselog vrhnja (1,00 kn)

½ šalice mlijeka (0,75 kn)

3 žlice maslaca, rastopljene (3,00 kn)

3 žlice šećera (0,15 kn)

1 i ½ šalica glatkog brašna (0,75 kn)

Prstohvat soli (0,01 kn)

½ žličice praška za pecivo (0,05 kn)

¼ žličice sode bikarbone (0,01 kn)

½ šalice sjeckanih oraha (2,50 kn)

½ šalice grožđica (1,50 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Zagrijte pećnicu na 200°C. Ako koristite plehnati kalup za mafine, lagano ga namastite sa malo ulja ili maslaca. Za silikonske kalupe ovaj korak preskočite. Ogulite i nasjeckajte kaki, pa ga onda izgnječite u pire. Umutite u to jaje, vaniliju, kiselo vrhnje i mlijeko, pa na kraju umiješajte i rastopljeni maslac. Dodajte šećer, brašno, sol, prašak za pecivo i sodu bikarbonu, te miješajte da se sve sjedini i nema grudica. Konačno, umiješajte i sjeckane orahe i grožđice.

Smjesu podijelite po pripremljenim kalupima i pecite 25-30 minuta, dok mafini ne dobiju lijepu zlatno-smeđu boju. Ostavite ih da se 5 minuta hlade u svojim kalupima prije nego ih preselite na rešetku da se ohlade do kraja.
