Say goodbye to boring breakfasts! These spiced cantaloupe muffins are a delightful twist on traditional zucchini bread. Bursting with juicy flavors and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar, they are the perfect treat to kickstart your day!
First, grate the cantaloupe (about 1/2 a cantaloupe) using a box grater. NOTE: It tends to get a little messy with the cantaloupe juice, so ensure to have a clean space to do that. We do not need the juice in the recipe. Set the grated cantaloupe aside while preparing the rest of the recipe.
4 oz cantaloupe
In a mixing bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour together with the baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and sea salt.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the eggs together with the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, sour cream and vanilla bean paste until slightly frothy. Fold in the grated cantaloupe.
3 eggs, 7.76 oz vegetable oil, 7.05 oz granulated sugar, 2 tsp vanilla bean paste, 3 oz sour cream
Pour the cantaloupe preparation into the flour/spices bowl, and fold until just combined.
Scoop the batter into the wells of your Muffin Tray (up to 3/4). NOTE: This recipe makes 14 muffins, so you can bake it into 2 batch.
CINNAMON SUGAR
In a small bowl, mix in the sugar and ground cinnamon together. Sprinkle on top of the muffins.
2.47 oz granulated sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon
BAKE!
Bake for 20 minutes at 350F/180C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your muffins from 18 minutes). It is ready when the toothpick inserted comes out with little to no crumbs.
Once your Spiced Cantaloupe Muffins | Cinnamon Sugar are out of the oven, let them cool for about 10 minutes in the mold before demolding to your cooling rack. Enjoy! Autumn Leaves & Pumpkins Please!
