Summer Fruit and White Chocolate Muffin

summer muffin


I chanced upon this recipe in a magazine (which I can't remember what it was now). The girls and I love strawberry and white chocolate muffins so I thought this will be a hit. It's the easiest thing I'd ever baked! I couldn't believe how straightforward it was.

Ingredients (makes 6):

2 medium eggs
80g golden caster sugar
50ml vegetable oil (groundnut or sunflower)
A few drops of vanilla extract
150g plain flour
1 1/2 tsps baking powder
1 large nectarine, stoned and sliced
70g strawberries, hulled and quartered
70g good white chocolate, chopped

For the topping

30g nectarines, stoned and chopped
60g raspberries
30g strawberries, hulled and quartered
light brown soft sugar, for sprinkling (I omitted this)

1. Pre-heat oven to 180°C.
2. Put the eggs, sugar, oil and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl and mix well until you have a smooth liquid.
3. Mix the flour and baking powder together in a separate bowl, then combine with the wet ingredients.
4. Stir in the nectarine slices, strawberries and white chocolate until evenly mixed.
5. Use a muffin tray lined with 6 large muffin cases and fill each muffin case about 2/3 full with batter. Scatter the fruit for the topping over the muffins and finish with a sprinkling of sugar.
6. Bake in oven for about 25 min.
7. DO NOT OPEN oven door halfway through.
8. When they are ready, the muffins should be well-rise and springy to the touch.

Thanks! It's from Doki, Pacific Plaza at Wembley. This Japanese crockery shop used to be located at Oriental City.

That's a danger zone, Val. Too many nice things to get. Very irresistible!
