Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.5 cups Watermelon puree
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 teaspoons Watermelon zest (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line your muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk the ingredients together to ensure they are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, mix the watermelon puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the muffins dense.
If desired, fold in the mini chocolate chips and watermelon zest for added texture and flavor.
Evenly spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your fruity watermelon muffins!
