Red Grape Muffins
Steemit Iron Chef 2018 Act 01 Round 08
The 2018 Steemit Ironchef challenge is here! This year @progressivechef broke up the contest into 3 seperate 'Acts' consisting of 15 rounds. The special ingredient for Act 1 Round 8 of the 2018 @steemit-ironchef challenge is the Grape 🍇. Grapes are a delicious fruit that can be used in many ways. I decided to make Red Grape muffins. These muffins can be made using a variety of different substitutes, but Red Grapes make a sweet and delicious additive. Most people are familiar with blueberry muffins and other various berry muffins, but they never think about adding grapes. Grapes are healthy, relatively cheap and fairly easy to find, making them a great muffin ingredient.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups of Sliced Red Seedless Grapes
2 1/2 cups of Flour
1 cup of Sugar
1 cup of Milk
1 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
2 Eggs
1 stick of Butter
2 1/2 teaspoons of Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon of Cinnamon
Step 1: Slice the Grapes
Slice up 1.5 cups of Red Seedless Grapes into small bits.
Step 2: Combine Drys
In a mixing bowl, combine 2.5 cups of flour with 1 cup of sugar, 2 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.
Step 3: Add Wets & Mix
Add a stick of melted butter, 1 cup of milk, 2 beaten eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Step 4: Add the Grapes
Pour in 1.5 cups of sliced grapes and gently mix them into the batter.
Step 5: Pour into Pan & Bake
Pour the batter into a 12-piece muffin pan. Bake in the oven at 375°F for roughly 25 minutes.
Step 6: Toothpick Trick
Use a toothpick to see if the muffins are finished. Stab a muffin, if the toothpick is clear when you pull it out, then the muffins are ready. If muffin-parts sticks to the toothpick, it will need a few more minutes in the oven.
Step 7: Serve & Enjoy!
These muffins are delicious when they are served warm with melted better, but they are also great when they are cold the next day!
