Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.5 cups Watermelon puree
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Mini chocolate chips (optional)
• 1 teaspoons Watermelon zest (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line your muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk the ingredients together to ensure they are evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the watermelon puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

If desired, fold in the mini chocolate chips and watermelon zest for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Evenly spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your fruity watermelon muffins!
