The excess produce of each season gets dehydrated or frozen. Of course, my goats keep us in milk so that I am able to make cream cheese every week. Peaches are dehydrated. Sweet potatoes go into cold storage. Almonds get soaked, rinsed and frozen. At the first; "I'm hungry!" I could literally direct the kiddos and they whipped up some delicious muffins. They're at the age that they're learning responsibility and yet everything is an adventure. Plus I have an injured foot which means I am baking from the sidelines.
PEACH AND ALMOND MUFFINS:
2 Cups Almonds
3 Eggs
1/2 Cup steamed Sweet Potato
1/4 Cup chunky chopped dried Peaches
1 Cup coursely grated Carrot
1/4 Cup Maple Syrup or Honey
2 Tablespoons Macadamia Nut oil
1/2 Teaspoon Bicarbonate Soda
Pinch salt
Pinch nutmeg
Pinch cinnamon
In a food processor mill the almonds to a course type flour. Add the eggs and process for a further 2 minutes. While the nutty dough is mixing grate your carrots into a separate bowl, and chop in the dried peaches.
Add the sweet potato, honey, macadamia oil and spices. Mix for 30 seconds
With a spatula pop the nutty dough in with the carrots and peaches. Add the salt and bicarb then mix lightly by hand. Spoon the mix into an oiled silicone muffin tray. Don't overhandle the dough or it will not rise.
Bake for 20 minutes at 120 C - once lightly browned and firm to the touch your delicious muffins are done. Allow to cool before popping the muffins out. Eat with a cup of lemon and honey tea or make a wonderful cream cheese topping, with a dash of honey and generous squeeze of lemon. These muffins also freeze well for an emergency tea party!
After all: who doesn't love an impromptu party on a glorious winter's day?
Those muffins look delicious and beautiful (the process and the final plate with the view) 😊
...and having all that food storage from homegrown fruit and veg, sounds very inspiring. Definitely looking forward for more!🙃
Thank you so much! It is an incredible blessing to have our own homegrown - despite the very hard work and endless challenges involved
I bet it is a lot of work, but the rewards pay for it all I would say:)
Indeed! Such satisfaction and reward
Delicious homemade muffins using natural sugar and homegrown ingredients make this a healthy dessert! Love that you're teaching the youngsters how to bake goodies!

They are one of our favourite treats. Leave out the carrot and peaches - add cacao and you have yummy nutty chocolate muffins
There you go - for all of us chocolate lovers!🙋♀️🍫🙋♂️ May as well bake both flavors while you're at it and freeze some for later.😊
🤣 I usually do!
Smart thinking! ❤
