Recipe... Avocado Muffins.

Some friends and I had a mini dinner party the other night and I was left with a nice handful of ripe avocados! They just so happen to be one of my favorite foods, so I was not at all mad about it. I had never baked with them before but i figured it would be a good way to use them up before they went bad. So I made these sweet little muffins.

Ingredients:

2 cups of flour

1cup of sugar

1 teaspoon of baking powder

1 teaspoon of baking soda

1/2 teaspoon of salt

2 eggs

1/2 cup of butter or shortening

1 tablespoon of lime juice

1 1/2 cup of mashed avocado

1 teaspoon of vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 15-20 min.

Mix together all dry ingredients first and then beat sugar & eggs until fluffy. Add in avocado, lime, butter, & vanilla. Add wet mixture to the dry and mix together. Spoon mixture into prepared muffin wrappers and bake!

They were quite delicious.

Fresh Berry Muffins.

Here is a quick & tasty little recipe for berry muffins. Since it is right in the middle of raspberry season I have been baking with them a lot. This was one of my favorites so far (along with a crostata but i'll save that for a later day.)


Fresh Raspberry Muffins:


6 tbs of butter
1/3 cup of milk
1 egg + 1 yolk
3/4 tsp of vanilla
1 1/2 cup of flour
3/4 cup of sugar
1 1/2 tsp of baking powder
3/4 tsp of salt
1 1/2 cup of berries

Mix together all ingredients and bake at 375 degrees for 18-20 min.

Enjoy! And remember that you can use any other type of berry in place of raspberries.

Have a beautiful weekend!
