Summer is finally here!!!! As a teacher, summer is a precious time for me. It means weeks of teaching and spending time with my own babies. I love it! For us, an important part of summer is grilling with friends. I tend to buy huge watermelons and then after the bbq, my children get to see the watermelon at every meal for the rest of the week. This week I decided enough was enough, I was going to figure out something to do with the rest of the watermelon. Celia, Charlie and I created this recipe for watermelon muffins. Can you believe it only has 2 ingredients! They had a lot of fun helping me. Charlie loved them so much he ate 7 in 2 days!
Watermelon Muffins
Ingredients:
3 Cups of Cubed Watermelon
1 Cake Mix (white, yellow, or be creative, maybe strawberry)
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Puree watermelon cubes in the food processor until it resembles chunky applesauce. Don't over puree, 5-7 pushes of the button should do the trick.
3. Mix watermelon puree with cake mix. Pour into cupcake pan.
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Makes 24 muffins.
