Muffini s jabukama, butternut tikvom i Tahiti vanilijom/Apple, Butternut squash & Tahiti vanilla Muffins

Please, scroll down for recipe in English

Kao djeca brat i ja obožavali smo jesen zbog zagasitih boja, šuštanja lišća, domaćih naranči, mandarina i jabuka. Stalno smo jeli prhke i meke pite s jabukama, štrudle, a za svaki mamin rođendan ona bi spremila poseban kolač s jabukama. Nadam se da ni sutra neće biti iznimka jer je mami 50 i neki rođendan :)

Iako se M. i ja pokušavamo odreći slatkog pa tako i kolača (ha ha) ipak dođu ti neki ludi dani kada poželite nešto slatko, kada kod kuće imate domaćeg voća i onda vam vrag neda mira pa vas natjera u kuhinju.

Kao npr. prije par dana. Tog jutra spremala sam nam krem juhu od butternut tikve, krumpira i poriluka pa sam odlučila odvojiti mali dio tikve za kolače. Kako sam imala nešto domaćih jabukica, odlučila sam ih spojiti s tikvom i napraviti nešto maleno, čisto da zadovoljimo naše nepce za slatkim. I tako su nastali ovi muffini :) Iskoristila sam nove silikonske kalupe koje sam kupila u Bordeauxu, nešto su veći od uobičajenih koje sam viđala tu kod nas, tako da vam možda od ove smjese ispadne i više komada :)

Dok smo bili u Bordeauxu, u malenoj trgovini začinima Dock des épices kupila sam mahunu vanilije s Tahitija. Kako su me oduvijek privlačile plaže, ocean, more i pijesak, a da ne govorimo o palmama, suncu koje prži i svemu tome zajedno na nekom egzotičnom otoku (ne razmišljati o ljetu!!), nisam se nimalo dvoumila kada sam pored raznih vrsta mahuna vanilije u ponudi odabrala baš ovu.

Bile su tu i one s Madagaskara, iz Konga i drugih zemalja, ali mene je baš privlačila ova s Tahitija, svojim izgledom, mekoćom i mirisom da sam već zamišljala pješćane plaže Tahitija i ružičaste cvjetove u kosi. Jedva sam čekala da dođemo kući da je isprobam.

Naravno, možete upotrijebiti mahunu vanilije koju želite :)

Tahiti Vanilla Bean

I naravno nisam zaboravila ni ono najvažnije: hvala vam svima na divnim komentarima na postu o Bordeauxu, drago mi je da vam se svidjelo jer mi smo se zaista lijepo proveli i pripremam vam još dva dijela. Već vam sada mogu otkriti da ćemo se u slijedećem postu družiti s sirevima i vinima, a u trećem dijelu s onim zbog čega moje srce još titra – posjetu Atlantskom oceanu :)

Muffini s jabukama, butternut tikvom i Tahiti vanilijom

(za 12 komada)

 

      Potrebni sastojci:

·       2 manje jabuke

....................................................................................................................................................

·       ½ male butternut tikve

....................................................................................................................................................

·       1 žlica tekućeg meda

....................................................................................................................................................

·       ½ mahune (tahiti) vanilije

....................................................................................................................................................

·       100 g maslaca

....................................................................................................................................................

·       90 g mljevenih badema (po želji)

....................................................................................................................................................

·       2 cijela jaja

....................................................................................................................................................

·       prstohvat soli

....................................................................................................................................................

·       ½ žličice praška za pecivo

....................................................................................................................................................

·       60 ml punomasnog mlijeka

....................................................................................................................................................

·       80 g kristal šećera

....................................................................................................................................................

·       60-70 g glatkog pšeničnog brašna (tip 550)

....................................................................................................................................................

   

      Priprema:

·       Jabuke operite, ogulite pa narežite na kockice. Po želji možete dio jabuke narezati na par tankih kriškica (1 mm) koje možete staviti na vrh muffina.

...................................................................................................................................................

·       Tikvu ogulite, očistite sredinu, operite pa narežite na sitnije kockice, otprilike 2 x 2 cm. Ja sam koristila 1/2 male butternut tikve (ispalo mi je otprilike oko 1 šalice od jogurta, 200 ml).

...................................................................................................................................................

·       U manji lonac pomiješajte tikvu i jabuke, dolijte vode toliko da tikva i jabuke budu pokrivene pa stavite kuhati na srednje jaku vatru, oko 10 minuta, odnosno dok tikva ne omekša. Kada su jabuke i tiva gotove, ocijedite vodu pa ih vilicom ili štapnim mikserom pasirajte. Ostavite sa strane da se ohlade.

...................................................................................................................................................

·       U međuvremenu, polovicu mahune vanilije prepolovite po dužini pa sastržite sjemenke. U manji lončić ulijte mlijeko, dodajte vaniliju pa prokuhajte na laganoj vatri. Kad mlijeko zavrije, skinite s vatre pa ostavite sa strane da se ohladi.

...................................................................................................................................................

·       Maslac otopite na laganoj vatri pa ostavite sa strane.

....................................................................................................................................................

·       Zagrijte pećnicu na 180ºC i pripremite silikonske ili keramičke kalupe za muffine.

....................................................................................................................................................

·       U zdjeli pomiješajte brašno s mljevenim bademima, soli i praškom za pecivo.

....................................................................................................................................................

·       U drugoj zdjeli izmiksajte jaja s medom, šećerom i mlijekom. Mokre sastojke polagano umiješajte u suhe, dodajte otopljeni maslac pa dobro izmiksajte kako bi se svi sastojci spojili. Ako vam se smjesa učini prerijetkom, dodajte još brašna, malo po malo. Na kraju dodajte pasiranu tikvu i jabuke pa lagano promiješajte drvenom kuhačom ili silikonskom lopaticom.

....................................................................................................................................................

·       Ulijte pripremljenu smjesu u kalupe, do 3/4 visine. Po želji na vrh možete poslagati po dvije tanke kriške jabuka (jednu preko druge).

....................................................................................................................................................

·       Pecite oko 20 minuta, odnosno dok vam muffini ne poprime zlatnožutu boju na vrhu. Izvadite iz kalupa pa poslužite dok su još topli.
