Available through CraitWorld, this premium baking ingredient makes it easy to prepare delicious homemade muffins with professional-quality texture. Therefore, this Muffins Recipe is perfect for everyday baking and special occasions alike.
Ingredients for Muffins
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour (maida)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup oil or melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 1.5 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Crait Baking Powder (for extra fluffiness)
- 1 egg (optional)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Chocolate chips or dry fruits (optional)
Step-by-Step Method
1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients
Add all-purpose flour, sugar, Crait Baking Powder and salt to a mixing bowl.
Sift the ingredients together and mix well to ensure they are evenly combined. This step helps create a lighter and more uniform muffin texture.
2. Add the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, combine milk, oil or melted butter, vanilla essence and the egg if using.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and fold gently until a smooth batter forms. Avoid overmixing, as this helps keep the muffins soft and fluffy.
3. Fold in Optional Ingredients
If desired, gently fold chocolate chips, chopped nuts or dry fruits into the batter.
The Crait Baking Powder helps the batter rise evenly, giving the Muffins Recipe its soft crumb and bakery-style dome during baking.
4. Fill the Muffin Cups
Line a muffin tray with paper liners or lightly grease the molds.
Fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full to allow enough space for the batter to rise. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips or nuts on top if desired.
5. Bake the Muffins
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake the muffins for 18–22 minutes, or until they turn golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and Serve
Allow the muffins to cool in the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Serve the Muffins Recipe warm or at room temperature with tea, coffee or milk.
