Pineapple Coconut Muffins
Obviously I failed. The muffins collapsed during the baking process…
I thought about not posting this (and I didn’t post this for over a month; these were made on March 15), but I finally decided to let this make an appearance because 1) they tasted good and 2) this may be a perfect opportunity to talk about one of my favorite Seinfeld episodes, “The Muffin Tops”.
So, these muffins collapsed. Apparently something was off and the structure was not there to hold up the top. Although I didn’t get the pretty domed top, I instead ended up with a flat and crunchy top. And the crunchy top turned out to be wonderful!
I started eating just the tops and that reminded me of the Seinfeld’s episode, “The Muffin Tops”, where Elaine gets a “million-dollar idea”: to open a store that sells just the muffin tops. Although I found the episode interesting, I never really related to it until I had these crunchy muffin tops. Now I do agree that the top IS really the best part of the muffin!!
I did write down the recipe I created, but since they collapsed I threw it away impulsively. I now wish I had kept the recipe because I might want to re-create the same collapsed muffins with the crunchy top!! The ingredients included fresh and dried pineapple, coconut milk, and coconut flakes.
Plant based?: YES. 100%.
パイナップルココナッツマフィン
オリジナルレシピで作ったのですが、失敗しました。。。
見ての通りですね～。
上の部分が膨らまず、ぺた～っとなって焼き上がり。
で、また、か～っとなって捨てようと思ったのですが、
上のところを“はがして”食べてみると、
これが、かりっとして美味しいのです（笑）。
マフィン自体、味は良いのですよ～。
が、特にこのトップの部分が気に入ってしまって、
恥ずかしい出来ながら、アップすることにしました。
と言っても、これ、1か月以上も前に作ったもの（苦笑）。
生とドライのパイナップル、そして、ココナッツミルクとココナッツフレーク入り。
膨らまなかったので、これまたその勢いで書いておいたレシピを捨ててしまったのが、今となっては残念。
本音を言うと、次回もこの“膨らまない”バージョンを作りたかったりしてます。
