Every single time for the past 15 years that we’ve gone home to my in-laws house, they always have to send home fruit.

Sometimes it’s apples. Sometimes it’s oranges or tangerines or homegrown dragonfruit, but every once in a while, we’ll get some kiwi.

And my husband will always say don’t you worry – I will eat this kiwi.

And then it sits in the fridge.

For a while.

So I have eventually found a way to use up the kiwi that he never eats and make something really really tasty out of it, and that is these muffins.

They’re super easy to make, so so so light and fluffy, they’re incredibly addictive, and they’re tasty tasty muffins.

So you should absolutely make these.
