Hello everyone!!!
September has arrived and holiday time is coming to a close. It´s now time for everyone to start again at home. Honestly, I´ve always loved September. I´m so fortunate to live beside the sea, being able to enjoy some calm, peaceful days at the beach … without all the hustle and bustle … and I love it!!!
Although it´s still warm, I´m sure many of you are still looking forward to heating the oven once more, like me. I suggest these beautiful plum muffins to start with. Truthfully plums have never been my favourite fruit to eat as they are. But in cakes and muffins like these ones, they are delicious.
You can substitute the prunes for peaches or nectarines if you prefer. Or try your own selection of fruit. I´m enjoying baking with fruit more and more these days. These muffins have yogurt in the mixture and a little bit of orange zest so they turn out light and fluffy and together with the fruit they´ll have an extraordinary flavour.
I recommend you give them a try, they´ll make the return to school much more enjoyable!!!
