Longan and Walnut Muffin, bake with Panasonic Electric Oven NB-H3800SSK 桂圆核桃马芬

My first bake using Panasonic Electric Oven NB-H3800SSK is dedicated to this Longan and Walnut muffin. This Longan and walnut muffin is very popular in Taiwan. Our Taiwan's hiking friend bought us this muffin for our snack during my recent hiking trip to Jade mountain. Taiwanese is very clever using these two healthy ingredients to create this special muffin. I love the dried longan's natural sweetness in this muffin and also always love walnut in any bakes .
