So Instagram is always showing me posts that it thinks I will like. So they are mostly about food with some cute animal photos thrown it. It also seems very interested in getting me to watch the Yellowstone series. I don't know why. But it is right about the food and the cute animals so maybe I should give it a try.
Anyway. One of the post was a video on how to make
Tangerine Muffins from
Cookist Wow on
YouTube. These were unusual muffins in that they had a whole half of a tangerine baked into the bottom of the muffin. Now I was skeptical because it seemed like having something with so much moisture at the bottom of the muffin would be a problem. But they looked cool so I wanted to try them out.
They were easy to work up and had the added bonus of using oil so it was easy to mix by hand and I didn't have to pull out or wash my stand mixer.
I did exactly what the video showed me. I spooned a little sugar on the bottom of the muffin cups, put the tangerines in cut side down, covered them with the batter and baked them.
Simple enough. Only they didn't turn out so great. They looked cute. When you cut them you got the semicircle of the tangerine on the bottom of the muffin. They looked like they would taste great. Unfortunately I didn't like them. The tangerine had turned bitter and the skin on the segments was tough to bite through. The cake part did not rise very much so it was dense. And overall it just didn't have that much flavor.
I ended up throwing most of them away. I love a citrus muffin but this one just didn't work out.
