Green Tomatoes and chocolate chips? Sure why not, if it can be done with zucchini why not green tomatoes?

Pretty tasty and I can’t even tell there’s a whole bunch of tomatoes in these muffins.

I did  a double blind study, I closed my eyes and  and ate two little muffins. I’m sure double blind studies are conducted just like that.

 

I had these miserable looking green tomatoes that didn’t look like they had any intention of ripening. Ever.

 

Slice and puree.

 

Drain excess juice off pureed tomatoes.

 

Cream together butter, sugar and eggs.

 

Combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.

 

Add pureed tomato.

 

Stir in chocolate chips.

 

Fill muffins just short of the top. And bake at 350 for 30- 45 minutes or until done.
