Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Brown sugar
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters Whole milk
- 100 grams Caramel sauce
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream (for glaze)
- 75 grams Powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 50 grams Extra caramel sauce (for drizzle)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer (about 2-3 minutes).
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold the caramel sauce into the batter, ensuring streaks remain visible for a marbled effect.
Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the caramel sauce, heavy cream, and powdered sugar until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins using a spoon.
For extra indulgence, drizzle additional caramel sauce over the glazed muffins. Serve and enjoy!
