Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 200 milliliters Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 12 pieces Mini caramel-filled Easter eggs
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tray with paper liners.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold together with a spatula, being careful not to overmix. Stop mixing as soon as the batter is smooth and there are no visible streaks of flour.
Step 5
Spoon a tablespoon of batter into each muffin liner, filling each about halfway. Place a mini caramel-filled Easter egg in the center of each liner, pressing it slightly into the batter. Cover the egg with another tablespoon of batter, ensuring it is fully enclosed.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the muffin (avoiding the center with the egg) comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
If desired, dust the tops of the muffins with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy them warm for the gooey caramel center or at room temperature for a soft, chewy treat!
