coconut oil and more

[Guest guest]

This looks like it's worth trying since I want to do the coconut oil. I also

bought peanuts to try my hand at making peanut butter. I have such a good time

with this machine. It's delightful.

I I'll do a fine shred in my Breville rather than pull out the microplane. It's

just easier… except I have to wash it. <g> Oh, I have the iSI in the fridge now

for I just make the Mousse au Chocolate. Later today more ice cream. All this

and I want to watch a few episodes of Game of Thrones from the first season to

get ready for the first episode of Season Two.

Good Morning Muffins

http://www.coconutoil-online.com/Good_Morning_Muffin_recipe.html

Ingredients

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/4 cup coconut oil -- softened

1 cup sour cream

2 eggs (room temperature)

1/2 cup re-hydrated -- desiccated coconut (re-hydrate ½ cup coconut with 2 T

maple syrup and 2 T water; mix and let stand for approx. 30 minutes until liquid

is absorbed)

1/2 cup raisins -- dried cranberries, dried blueberries or currants

2 med (1 cup) carrots -- very finely grated ( I use a Microplane zester for

very fine shreds)

1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Heat oven to 375°F. Combine sugar and coconut oil in large mixing bowl. Beat at

medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy (1 to 2 minutes). Add sour cream

and eggs. Continue beating until well mixed (1 to 2 minutes). Stir in coconut,

raisins and carrots by hand.

Stir together flour, baking soda and cinnamon in medium bowl. Add flour mixture

to sour cream mixture; stir just until moistened.

Spoon batter into greased (with coconut oil) 12-cup muffin pan. Bake for 20 to

25 minutes or until lightly browned.

Note: When the carrots are very finely shredded they tend to almost disappear

during baking while giving the muffins a nice orange color and making the

muffins uniformly moist. The Microplane Zester can be purchased economically at

Lee Valley Tools . (They have a lot of nice products and are a great company to

deal with.)
