Matcha Coconut MOffins #MuffinMonday

By

Last month, I saw a post from one of my favorite bloggers - Wendy at A Day in the Life on the Farm - and I realized that they've been having a muffin party for years without me. LOL. I emailed the host, Stacy of Food Lust People Love and got the scoop: "...last Monday of the month and no themes. We've been baking together since August 2015! Only one rule, you must use the muffin method (folding wet ingredients with dry - no creaming butter and sugar, etc.) to bake muffins."

Oh, my goodness...is that the muffin rule? That makes total sense. But I had no idea.
In my house we've always said that if it's 'naked' as in frosting-free, it's a muffin; if there's frosting, then it's a cupcake. Turns out there's more to it than that. In any case, I jumped in. This is my first month participating with the #MuffinMonday bloggers. Here's a little bit more info, since this is new-to-me...

#MuffinMonday is a group of muffin loving bakers who get together once a month to bake muffins. You can see all of our lovely muffins by following our Pinterest board. Updated links for all of our past events and more information about Muffin Monday can be found on our home page.

And here's this month's line-up...

Matcha Coconut MOffins

I dug my 'muffin top' molds out of my baking bin and I whipped up these MOffins for my boys one morning. I have been doing a lot of baking during our shelter-in-place orders. Oh, that is not a typo. I do not mean 'muffin.' I do mean MOffin. A MOffin is just a muffin made with mochi flour. Mochi + Muffin = MOffins

Ingredients
  • 4  eggs
  • 1/4 C olive oil
  • 1 can (14-ounces) coconut cream
  • 1/2 C coconut water
  • 1/2 C turbinado raw cane sugar
  • 1 T baking powder
  • 2 T matcha powder
  • 1 box rice flour (Mochiko)

Procedure
Mix the eggs, olive oil, coconut cream, and coconut water together in a large mixing bowl. Then fold in everything else until just moistened. Spoon the batter into greased muffin hollows or the muffin molds. Place on a baking sheet.

Bake for about 30 minutes at 375˚F till the top of the MOffin is slightly browned and slightly cracked. Let cool for 5 minutes before turning the MOffins onto a cooling rack.

And just in case you want to order your own adorable muffin molds, I'm including an affiliate link below. We love them!

    I think a lot of people feel the same as you did, Camilla. Naked = muffin, frosting = cupcake but my attitude is that if you are creaming butter and sugar, then adding eggs, etc., you are making cake batter. The muffin method is what makes baking muffins so easy! It's the gateway treat for new bakers.

    I love the flavor combo in your moffins, Camilla, and also the fact that they are naturally gluten free! (And your muffin molds are hysterical!)

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce

Aloo Tiki {Pakistan}

By
To start off our Pakistani culinary adventure, I started us off with aloo tiki - potato cutlets. I'm always game for tasty street food. I found a couple of different recipes and incorporated those together for this version. Ingredients 6-8 small red potatoes, scrubbed 1 T cumin seeds 1 T fresh chopped parsley 1/2 t ground coriander 1 t minced garlic Procedure Boil the potatoes until they are tender. Drain and let cool. Mash the potatoes. Traditionally they are mashed without their skins. I left the skins on. In a small pan, toast the cumin seeds on high heat until the begin to give off an aroma and begin to darken. Remove from heat and transfer to a plate to keep them from cooking any more. Blend all of the spices into the mashed potatoes, then shape into small patties. If you wet your hands, the potato mixture won't stick to them. Heat a splash of oil in a large, flat-bottom pan. Dip each patty into beaten egg and carefully place in the oil. P
