Calling All Durian Lovers ~ Durian Muffin 榴莲松糕

现在是榴莲盛产的季节,只要区区几块钱就能买到很不错的榴莲。但是,买榴莲还是一定要到相熟或是有信誉的档子买,不然就像我们一样被骗。

买回来的榴莲分明是隔夜的,榴莲肉已经带水了,像这样的榴莲我是下不了口的,虽然榴莲是我的最爱。

我们选了一些比较新鲜的装入容器内收入冰箱,我跟D说拿来做糕吧!我还没有机会用榴莲做食材呢,因为好吃的榴莲都进了我的肚子,很难抗拒。哇咔哇咔!

想到已经很久没做muffin了,所以我当下就决定用那盒榴莲来做muffin。隔天晚上吃饱饭后我就开始行动,没一会儿功夫muffin就完成了。这就是我喜欢做muffin的原因,干的湿的各自混,然后再混成一团就大功告成了。

榴莲muffin在烤的时候并没有很浓的榴莲味,是淡淡的榴莲味夹杂很香的牛油味,我用Golden Churn,味道真的很香浓。

Muffin还温热的时候我忍不住拿了一个来品尝,热的muffin会粘住纸膜,结果muffin脱膜得很难看。Muffin完全冷却后就没有这个问题了。

烤好的muffin拿近鼻子闻真的很香很香,不愧是万果之王(我的香可能对一些不吃榴莲的人是他们的臭吧!哇哈哈!)

这Muffin非常的松软,即使到了第三天还是保持一定的松软度,不需要再弄热就能直接吃了。我没后悔保留一部分果肉来当馅,咬下时吃到纯正的果肉,味道特别好。


Durian Muffin 榴莲松糕

This is definitely for durian lovers only. The muffin is very soft even on the third day. The aroma from the durian is quite dominant, plus the pure durian flesh in the centre, it tastes heavenly!

Ingredients: (yield 12 medium size muffins)
(A)
160g plain flour (I used 180g superfine flour)
120g sugar (I cut down to 100g)
1½ tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt (optional)
(B)
120g butter (melted)
120g milk (I added extra 1tbsp water)
2 eggs (lightly beaten)
1 tsp vanilla extract
(C)
1 cup durian flesh (use a fork to mash the durian flesh)

Method:
1) Preheat oven to 180C, prepare muffin cup or line muffin tray with paper liners.
2) In a large bowl, sift and mix together (A). In another bowl combine and mix (B).
3) Make a well in the centre of (A) and add in (B), stir till just incorporated (use a spatula to fold from bottom to top and use the other hand to turn the mixing bowl at the same time).
4) Add about half of (C), mix till combined (do not over mix). Batter should be a bit runny.
5) Fill up each muffin cup with the batter till 50% full, add 1 tsp of the remaining durian flesh, then top with the batter till 80% full.
6) Bake for about 20 - 25 mins or till a toothpick inserted into the centre of muffin and come out clean. Remove muffin from muffin tray and cool on wire rack.

Note:
My muffins were cooked in 20 mins time but the top crust still looked quite pale, I switched to top fire and baked for another 2 - 3 mins to get golden brown crust.

  9. Sock Peng,

    榴莲好好吃哦,而且粒粒都是惊喜,有时你会吃到甜的,有时是苦的,有时又甜又苦。

    只能说不吃是你的损失,哇咔哇咔!试试看嘛。

  18. Hi, can I change the butter to the vege oil?

  19. gladys,

    Sorry for the late reply.

    Yes. Feel free to replace melted butter with veg oil for healtier version but the muffin will not be as fragrant.

    Happy Baking!
