Tasty Black sesame muffins

These interesting dark cupcakes with an unusually rich sesame taste and aroma will not annoy anyone with an abundance of small grains, since they are simply not here - sesame seeds are ground into a paste for dough.

Ingredients

• Black sesame - 60 g
• Butter (softened) - 50 g
• Eggs - 2 pcs.
• Sugar - 80-100 g (to taste)
• Flour - 120 g
• Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
• White sesame (for sprinkling cupcakes) - 0.5 tsp

Directions

1. Before preparing all the ingredients, we prepare sesame paste - it needs 50 grams. I take a little sesame with a margin, 60 g, because in the end some of the paste will remain on the walls of the blender bowl.
2. Dry the sesame seeds in a dry, heated frying pan, stirring constantly with a spatula, for 2-3 minutes.
3. Pour the sesame seeds into the blender bowl and start grinding. Periodically, you need to open the blender and scrape the sesame from the walls of the bowl.
4. The process of grinding sesame into a paste takes about 10 minutes. Sesame extracts oil, and as a result, a rather thick homogeneous mass is obtained. Sesame paste is ready.
5. Preparing the ingredients for the muffins.
6. The butter should be softened - we take it out of the refrigerator in advance.
7. We turn on the oven to warm up to 170 degrees.
8. Combine softened butter, sugar and 50 grams of sesame paste in a bowl and beat with a mixer until smooth.
9. Add the eggs one at a time and beat the sesame mixture after each addition.
10. Partially add flour sifted with baking powder (120 g is an incomplete glass with a capacity of 200 ml). Stir after each addition of flour.
11. You will get a thick homogeneous dough.
12. Divide the dough into molds and sprinkle with white sesame seeds. I have a silicone muffin plate and it doesn't need to be lubricated. If you are using metal molds, grease them first with oil or use paper capsules.
13. We send the form to the preheated oven and bake the sesame muffins at 170 degrees for 35-40 minutes. We check the readiness with a toothpick - it should come out dry from the middle of the cake.
14. Black sesame muffins are ready.
