Low Fat Persimmon Muffins
Serves 12
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups wholemeal plain flour
1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup sultanas
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons bicarbonate soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3/4 cup honey
1 cup ripe persimmon pulp, mashed
Method
Preheat the oven to 180 C. Grease a 12-hole (1/2 cup capacity) muffin pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients. In a small bowl combine all wet ingredients.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients then gently fold together until just combined. Be careful not to over- mix as this will create a tough muffin.
Spoon the mix into muffin pan, bake for 15-18 mins or until the tops bounce back. Serve warm or cooled.

I devour books, vampires and supernatural creatures are my genre of choice but over the past couple of years, I have broadened my horizons considerably. In a nutshell – I love to write! I love interacting with a diverse range of artists to bring you interviews. Perhaps we were perfect before – I LOVE WORDS!
