Method of cooking simple muffins with pears and nuts
Pour fine white sugar into a deep bowl, add butter, softened at room temperature. Rub the sugar and butter first with a fork.
At this stage, we take a mixer, beat eggs with sugar, break small eggs one at a time.
Next, pour the kefir at room temperature or slightly heated in a bowl. If you pour cold kefir in a bowl, the mixture will split. There is nothing wrong with this; in the process of adding the remaining ingredients, the dough will become smooth.
Separately mix wheat flour, baking soda and baking powder dough. Sift dry ingredients into a bowl, knead dough for muffins.
Dried hazelnuts in a skillet without oil, cool. Chop the nuts finely, add to the dough.
The raisins are thoroughly washed, scalded with boiling water, laid out on a paper napkin, when the raisins dry, pour them into a bowl. Pear muffins cut finely. You can also put apples, fresh berries, for example, blueberries or blueberries in the dough.
Candied pineapple cut into cubes, add to the rest of the ingredients.
Now put chocolate in the muffin dough. I added a drop of white and bitter chocolate, you can opt for any one chocolate. Thoroughly mix the ingredients and turn on the oven. Heated to 180 degrees Celsius.
We take paper molds for muffins, fill them with dough for 2/3 volume.
Sprinkle every muffin with coconut chips - you get a wonderful fragrant and ruddy crust.
We send muffins to the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Since the products are small, then they need to bake a little. We do not open the oven during cooking! Ready muffins with pears and nuts immediately get out of the oven, cool on a wire rack.
Such baking is well kept in a metal box for cupcakes or cookies. Shelf life of about 4-5 days, a little more Enjoy your meal!
