Fresh grated parsnips add a nutritious boost and lend a lovely subtle earthy taste to these tasty tender muffins, made extra moist with full-fat Greek yogurt, raisins for the sweetness that complements the other ingredients perfectly, and topped with almonds for crunch. Enjoy for weekend mornings, breakfast on the go, or an afternoon snack when you crave something sweet.

 

Parsnip Muffins

adapted from Alton Brown
  • 230 g All-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp Freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp Orange zest
  • 1/3 tsp Sea salt
  • 3 Large eggs, at room-temperature
  • 180 g Full fat Greek yoghurt
  • 50 g Chicken schmaltz, melted
  • 100 g Brown sugar
  • 100 g Caster sugar
  • 2 Large parsnips, peeled and finely grated
  • 100 g Raisins
  • 30 g Slivered almonds
  1. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F. Line 8 jumbo muffin cups with paper cases (you can use a standard-size 12-hole muffin tin) or grease with nonstick spray and set aside.
  2. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, orange zest and salt in a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine. In a second bowl, whisk the eggs, yoghurt, schamaltz, and sugars until combined. Add the flour mixture, the grated parsnips and raisions to the wet mixture and fold with a spatula until nearly combined with a few specks of flour remaining.
  3. Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups and sprinkle the top of each muffin with the slivered almonds.
  4. Bake for 25-28 minutes for the jumbo ones (22-24 minutes for the standard ones) until risen and a skewer inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out clean. Remove them from the tin to a rack and cool for 15 minutes. Serve warm. Store completely cooled muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

En más de una ocasión he utilizado verduras como ingredientes para dulces, pero nunca se me ha ocurrido la chirivía, y desde luego la tengo en cuenta para la próxima vez que prepare muffins o bizcocho.

Smart to put parsnip into muffins, it must be good.

Parsnips are not really grown around here and you rarely see them other than the fall in the grocery stores. Even so this sounds like a good muffin! (Except for the raisins. For me nothing ruins a perfectly good muffin or cookie like raisins)

Trying again as my comment was swallowed up. Just saying I think Alton Brown is fabulous! And parsnips - mmm maybe a muffin is where they are best suited. :)
