King Koopa Muffins

See these things?



Did you know they could be made into food?!
It's true!

Since theses strange things are green, yellow and orange, we have decided to name these muffins after one of the greatest heroes of our time.

1. Turn on the oven to 365.

2. Grease up a muffin tin. This should fill up 12 standard sized muffins fairly well. (I suppose you can use a Big Top Cupcake if you want one Giga-Bowser muffin, but you'll have to adjust time and temp.)

3. Toss a stick plus 3 Tablespoons of butter in the mixer with 2 eggs, 2/3 cups light brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla.

4. Mix that till it is fairly uniform.

5. In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups AP flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon of cloves and 1/2 a teaspoon of Morton Salt. (“I won’t publicly endorse a product unless I use it exclusively and I really believe in it. My only official recommendations are US Army issued mustache trimmers, Morton’s Salt, and the C.R. Lawrence fine two inch style oscillating knife blade.”)

6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, and stir until mixed.

7. Stir in 1/2 cup finely shredded carrots, 3/4 cups finely shredded zucchini, and 3/4 cups finely shredded yellow summer squash. (I used baby carrots, but only because that is what I had. It's a lot easier to use whole carrots. Don't you be like me.)

8. Fill up the tins evenly. (I find it easiest to use a small measuring cup to scoop the batter into the cups. When scooping make sure that none of the vegetables have clumped together, and pull out any pieces that may be too big. )

9. Toss them into the oven and bake for about 22 minutes.


10. Now, you just have to employ some turtles and mushrooms in your schemes to best a plumber!
