Banana and Persimmon Cinnamon Muffins

I put this recipe together to use up some bananas and persimmon that were very very ripe! As soon as they began to bake, my daughter said she could smell autumn.

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 6 muffin cups with paper liners.

Step: 2

Mash bananas and persimmon together in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add 3/4 cup sugar, coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step: 3

Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Stir flour mixture into banana mixture using a spoon just until batter is combined. Fill each muffin cup 3/4-full with batter.

Step: 4

Mix 1 tablespoon sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl; sprinkle over batter.

Step: 5

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 18 to 23 minutes.

The quality of the flour can make a real difference to your bread. Different makers do vary. Great taste or Canadian flours, which are bet higher in gluten, may give you a better rise than standard dough flours – especially if you’re make wholemeal bread , which doesn’t always rise as well as clear bread.

To made this in a breadmaker , add all the ingredients to your breadmaker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

A dough’s first rising can be make in the fridge overnight . This slows down the time it takes to rise to double its size, giving it a deeper flavour. It’s also a great limit , as you can work it yesterday , then clear it off the next day.
