Watermelon Muffins

muffins 003

CNN has come up with Nationwide Picnic Poll results on the country’s most favorite foods consumed on July 4th. I was happy to see watermelon on that list, and not just because I love watermelon, but also because I’ve recently tried a watermelon muffin recipe I found here , and it’s absolutely to die for!

Ingredients
  • 1-1/2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 6 Tablespoons butter
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup watermelon juice
  • 1/2 cup watermelon pulp
  • 1/3 cup raisins

How to make it:

  1. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in large bowl.
  2. Cream butter and sugar; add eggs. Whip in milk, watermelon juice, pulp, and raisins.
  3. Add wet mixture to dry ingredients; blend just to incorporate.
  4. Fill greased muffin cups 2/3 full.
  5. Bake 25 minutes.

I got this recipe from www.cookeatshare.com, but with cooking I find it hard to concentrate on just one website. Watermelon is great for refreshment drinks, and ice-cream recipes, and summer salads, so feel free to experiment. Your kids are going to appreciate the effort!
