Bleeding Heart Muffins image

Simple muffins from scratch with a surprise filling. They are not too sweet. The original recipe also suggests substituting another fruit, or steamed carrots, for the plum filling. I tried it with blueberries, most of them stayed in the middle but they rose to the top on a few of the muffins. You could also use jam. For ZWT7, from ricettedalmondo.it

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 small plums (red or yellow)
7/8 cup milk
1/4 cup oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup powdered sugar (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Grease muffin pan.
  • Wash and dry the plums. Cut them in half and remove the pits.
  • Mix the flour, oil, sugar and baking powder. (The muffins aren't too sweet, so add some extra sugar if you prefer a more dessert like muffin.).
  • Add milk, eggs and vanilla, mix well.
  • Add 2 tbsp of batter to each muffin cup. Place plum half (or other fruit) in the center of each muffin. Divide remaining batter evenly among muffins to cover the fruit.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in muffin comes out clean. (The fruit will cling to the toothpick, but muffin dough should not.).
  • Let cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
