I spoke with Kheng about adapting recipes from large-batch to small-batch, and he said that you just have to divide; If something seems too small, for example the amount of salt, then just add a bit more. I guess that's part of the intuition he's acquired after so many years as a pastry cook. I consulted some recipes for muffins and used my own intuition from there:
- 3/4 cup spelt flour
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 100mL grapeseed oil
- 2 eggs
- 2 bananas (approx 1/3 to 1/2 lb of flesh)
- 1 small carrot, shredded (approx 75g)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup baking currants
- 1/4 cup toasted pecans, chopped
- 1/8 cup shredded coconut
- 1 Tbsp blackstrap molasses
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
I'm pretty happy with the results. I would reduce the amount of cinnamon from 1/2 tsp to 1/4 tsp. Otherwise, they're full of flavor, moist, and as fluffy as a muffin should be.
