Eggplant Muffins

These chocolate muffins are incredibly tender and moist, making them incredibly delicious. This texture is achieved through an unusual technique: first, we prepare a custard-like filling and then add the eggs, flour, and other ingredients of a classic dough.

Ingredients · Servings 6
  • Eggplant
  • Wheat flour
  • Sour cream 20% (medium fat)
  • Butter
  • Onions
  • Red sweet pepper
  • Walnut
  • Chicken egg
  • Refined vegetable oil
  • Baking powder
  • Ground sweet paprika
  • Granulated sugar
  • Salt
Method · 1 h
  1. Prepare the vegetables. Finely chop the onion. Wash the eggplant and cut into 5mm cubes. Now fry the prepared vegetables. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan, add the onion, and fry for a couple of minutes.
  2. Add the eggplant cubes to the pan. Stir-fry until the pieces soften slightly and develop a light crust. Let cool.
  3. Prepare the dough. Melt the butter in the microwave using the pulse setting and let cool. Chop the nuts with a knife. Mix the flour with the baking powder in a separate bowl.
  4. Beat the eggs with sour cream. Pour in the oil, sugar, salt, and paprika. Mix thoroughly, then add the flour mixture. Stir with a spatula. The batter should have the consistency of thick sour cream.
  5. Add the nuts and roasted vegetables to the batter. Mix with a spatula and distribute into the wells of a muffin tin. Bake for half an hour at 180°C (350°F). Let the muffins cool until warm before serving.
