Muffins with plums and cornmeal

Muffins with plums and cornmeal: an autumn delicacy Preparation time: 15 minutes Baking time: 25-30 minutes Total time: 45 minutes Number of servings: 12 muffins If you're looking for a quick and tasty dessert, muffins with plums and cornmeal are the perfect choice. These fluffy pastries blend the sweet flavors of ripe plums with the slightly crunchy texture of cornmeal, offering a unique and comforting culinary experience. Ingredients: - 200 g wheat flour - 100 g cornmeal - 150 g sugar - 1 teaspoon salt - 2 teaspoons baking powder - 2 large eggs - 180 ml milk - 100 ml sunflower oil - 300 g plums, pitted and diced - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional) Step 1: Preheat the oven Start by preheating the oven to 180°C (350°F). Make sure to prepare a muffin tray, either with paper liners or greased with a little oil or butter to prevent sticking. Step 2: Mixing dry ingredients In a large bowl, combine the wheat flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and baking powder. This is a crucial step, as mixing the dry ingredients helps to homogenize them and ensures an even texture for the muffins. Step 3: Preparing wet ingredients In another bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk, then add the milk, oil, and vanilla extract. This combination will add moisture and flavor to your muffins. Mix well until you get a homogeneous mixture. Step 4: Combining ingredients Add the wet ingredient mixture to the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently combine them until the ingredients are just homogeneous. Do not overmix, as this could lead to less fluffy muffins. Finally, fold in the diced plums, being careful not to crush them. Step 5: Baking the muffins Evenly divide the batter into the muffin cups, filling each cup about two-thirds full. This will allow the muffins to rise beautifully during baking. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the muffins comes out clean. Step 6: Cooling and serving Once the muffins are baked, let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. These muffins with plums are delicious both warm and at room temperature. Serving suggestion: You can sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top of the muffins for an elegant look or serve them with a dollop of cream or Greek yogurt for a delicious contrast of textures. Possible variations: Instead of plums, you can use other seasonal fruits like apples or peaches to create different versions of this recipe. You can also add chopped nuts or chocolate chips for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy these muffins with plums and cornmeal, a simple and comforting dessert perfect for enjoying alongside a cup of tea or coffee!
