Aubrey, will you let us know how these turn out?

 

I have a covered dish lunch at work tomorrow and am looking for something to take. I'm going to have my daughter check this thread later and see if y'all think these are awesome and a good idea for my luncheon. If so, she can go pick me up the materials :)

 

 

Thank you :)

I have all the ingredients on hand, just waiting for your report.

 

I might just give it a go anyway. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Never in a million years would I have thought to make muffins with watermelon. Watermelon muffins.... just sounds oxymoronish, kwim?

Wow - never would have thought to make watermelon into muffins....sounds like somthing DS would love. I wonder if GF flour would also work....

 

Can't wait to hear how they turn out - take a pic!

I wanted to do it GF for dh, too, but I didn't have the time or energy (was up all night lesson planning).

They were kinda awful, but it was my fault--I was at the end of my baking powder & couldn't get the last of the jar into the measuring spoon & ended up spilling it in the batter. WAY too much. Blech.

 

But the batter was great, & there were good bites of muffin. Not everybody's cuppa, for sure, but good, fun, interesting.

 

If I had a patronus, it would be a talking watermelon. I've been telling dh that for yrs. :D <--It would look like this, but pink, & it would spit seeds at bad guys.
