Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with butter or nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the passionfruit pulp, melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix just until combined; do not overmix to avoid dense muffins.
If using, fold in the passionfruit seeds for added texture and flavor.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins store well for up to 3 days in an airtight container at room temperature or can be frozen for longer storage.
