Coconut Curry Muffins
These muffins are so unique and delicious. Inspired by one of my favorite foods which is coconut curry. So I thought, Why not make it into a muffin, duh! These muffins are very sophisticated, turmeric cake with chopped cashews and a coconut vanilla glaze. Everything you love about curry now in one just without chicken hahaha.
Ingredients:
Muffin
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 tsp coconut extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup milk
desired amount of chopped cashews and shredded coconut, raisins would be very god in this too.
Glaze
1/2 cup powdered suger
1/2 tsp coconut vanilla extract
2 tbs milk
2 tbs butter
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F and line muffin pan with paper liners.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. Stir half of the dry ingredients into the sugar mixture. Add milk then remaining dry ingredients.
Scoop batter into muffin pan, filling each cup two thirds full. Lightly sprinkle each muffin with course sugar. Bake 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
to make glaze add all ingredients in a bowl and mix it should be at a consistency to where you can make a figure eight with it, if you feel like it tis too thin add more sugar, or too thick add more milk.
WAIT until muffins are completely cool before glazing them. The glaze will melt right off. After they are glazed I like to add a little sprinkle of Turmeric and cinnamon on top for a pop of color.
Once they are glazed ENJOY!
