Gluten Free Green Pea Muffins with Poppy and Mozzarella



http://schneiderchen.de | © 2013 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




A gluten free muffin recipe using dried ground green peas, poppyseeds and buffalo Mozzarella. Dried peas, a small but nutritionally mighty member of the legume family, are gluten free, low GI, low in fat and high in protein. They contain soluble fibre that helps to optimise cholesterol and rich in minerals, vitamins and anti-oxidants.

  • 300 g Dried shelled green peas
  • 40 g Poppy seeds
  • 1 tsp Dried curry leaves
  • 1 tsp Sea salt
  • ½ tsp White pepper powder
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 500 ml Sparkling water
  • 12 Mini buffalo Mozzarella
  1. Grind the dried shelled green peas into flour-like consistency. Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin and line with paper or silicone liners.
  2. Whisk together the pea flour, poppy seeds, dried curry leaves, sea salt, white pepper powder and baking powder in a mixing bowl.
  3. Gradually whisk in the sparkling water until well combined and smooth. Divide the batter into the prepared muffin cups. Top each muffin with a mini Mozzarella. Bake in the cold fan-assist oven at 140C/280F for 40 minutes.

    I love the colour of these muffins. The green is so gorgeous. I can imagine the flavour of the peas going with the aromatic curry leaves and crunchy poppy seeds.

    I didn't realise that you can grind up green peas like this. It's a great idea for gluten-free, and the color is lovely, as well.

    What a lovely color! I don't think I have seen dried green peas shelled, or is that some kind of lentils?

    Wow! You are a genius! I have 2 bags of dried green peas in my pantry left from making multicolored snacks with my daughter. Now I know what to do with them, thank you. Not sure where to buy curry leaves yet, perhaps Indian store? Anyway, I'm so glad that I stopped by, such a wonderful blog you have here!

    I don't know whether cold oven baking makes the baked goods dried out or not, I did so because I didn't want to waste the energy and it's even quite common for pound cakes to start in a cold oven.

    @Jeremy Sandor
    To bake those muffins, you don't have to preheat the oven...bake them with cold oven, but with fan on. My oven is a regular one..but you can also try to preheat the oven to 160C/320F and bake 20 minutes.
