Fluffy, golden, and bursting with natural sweetness, these Honey Rice Muffins are a delightful twist on the classic muffin recipe. Infused with the aromatic richness of honey and the surprising addition of cooked white rice, these muffins are a unique combination of texture and flavor. Easy to make in under 30 minutes, theyβre perfect for breakfast, snacks, or as a grab-and-go treat. The rice adds a subtle chewiness and heartiness, while the buttery, vanilla-infused batter creates a perfectly moist crumb. Ideal for busy mornings or weekend baking, these versatile muffins are great served warm with a dollop of butter or enjoyed at room temperature. Plus, theyβre crafted with pantry-friendly ingredients, making them a quick and wholesome option for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Add the cooked white rice into the dry ingredients and gently toss to coat the rice and evenly distribute it through the mixture.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, honey, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well mixed.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 of the way full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 16β18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
