Ingredients

In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.
Stir in ¼ cup chopped nuts and flour mixture into the persimmon mixture. Evenly scoop batter (I used an ice cream scoop with a sweep handle) into prepared pans. Sprinkle remaining chopped nuts on top of muffins. Bake 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool in pan 10 minutes on a cooling rack, take out of the pan and cool completely.
Notes
Adding the nuts on top of the muffins will allow them to toast and create another layer of delicious flavor.
These muffins freeze beautifully. If you would like to freeze some of or all of your muffins, simply place them in a freezer safe zip top bag or air tight container and freeze.

My grandmother had a persimmon tree (in Louisiana) and when they were ripe, there was way to many to use at once. This persimmon muffins recipe would be perfect for using the ones that were a tad riper than I wanted to eat. I can’t wait to try them. They look delish!
Thanks Scarlet. Anything with persimmons is delicious in my book! Good Luck!
