Martha Stewart.<\/a><\/p>\nI made the experience that it is quiet difficult to estimate the perfect baking time for cakes that are sweetened with dextrose. Either the cake is done on the inside, but burned on the outside, or it is too moist on the inside but nice on the outside. Dextrose seems to burn much faster than normal sugar. That’s why I didn’t use a loaf pan this time but decided on muffins using a muffin pan instead. This way the muffins are done on the inside much faster, hence baking time is shorter and the muffins are less likely to burn on the outside.<\/p>\n
We had the muffins for breakfast at our weekly Monday meeting. They were perfect in my opinion.<\/p>\n

Fructose friendly muffins with coconut and buttermilk<\/strong>
\nPrep time 20-25 Minutes, baking time 20-25 Minutes
\n*Update: Please note, that I developed this recipe before going gluten free. Therefore this recipe does contain wheat.<\/p>\n1 1\/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
\n2 cups all-purpose flour
\n1 1\/2 cups coconut chips
\n1\/2 teaspoons baking powder
\n1\/2 teaspoon baking soda
\n1 cup powdered dextrose
\n1 cup buttermilk
\n1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or 1 scraped vanilla bean pod
\n3 large eggs (I added one more left over egg white, worked out really well)
\nChop the coconut chips in small pieces and toast for a few minutes in a coated pan without oil or butter until they turn slightly golden. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare muffin pan with paper muffin cups. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl and set aside.
\nIn a large mixing bowl, using a mixer, beat butter and powdered dextrose until light and fluffy. Add vanilla, then eggs, one at a time. With mixer on low, add 1\/3 of flour mixture, then 1\/2-cup of buttermilk, continue until everything is well combined, but prevent over mixing the batter. With a rubber spatula, fold in coconut.
\nTransfer batter into muffin cups and bake for 20-25 Minutes. For the last 5 minutes baking time watch the muffins carefully. Better take out the muffins one minute too early than one minute too late. Like I said, a few seconds might turn out to be the difference between soft muffins and burnt muffins. In my oven, the muffins were perfectly baked after 22 minutes.<\/p>\n

Letzte Woche hatte ich meinen letzten Arbeitstag hier in Berlin. Ich habe das bequeme Nest einer Festanstellung aufgegeben um mich in ein neues Abenteuer zu st\u00fcrzen. In weniger als 18 Tagen geht es auf unbestimmte Zeit nach Istanbul! Und kein “Wohoo\/Yippieh\/Yeah” beschreibt wohl ann\u00e4hernd wie sehr ich mich darauf freue. Aber, nicht abschweifen, zur\u00fcck zum Thema. (Ich werde zwangsl\u00e4ufig noch oft genug auf Istanbul und unsere geplanten Nicht-Pl\u00e4ne f\u00fcr ein Leben dort zur\u00fcckkommen.) Zum B\u00fcroabschied habe ich meine Kollegen noch ein letztes Mal mit gesunden, zuckerfreien Kokos-Buttermilch-Muffins begl\u00fcckt. \u2026<\/p>\n
Last week was my last day at work here in Berlin. I gave up the comfort of being permanently employed to dive into a new adventure. In no less than 18 days we will move to Istanbul! “Yeah, woohoo or yippieh” doesn\u2019t nearly describe how excited I am about this move. But that\u2019s not what this post is about. In any case, I am sure this new adventure will find more than one mention in future posts as I will be sure to let you know about our plans and non-plans for our new life in Istanbul.
