Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups milk
- 0.25 cups butter, melted and cooled
- 1 large egg
- 5 drops purple food coloring
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups popped popcorn, plain
- 0.5 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen (optional for extra flavor)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly with non-stick spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, purple food coloring, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
If using blueberries, fold them into the batter at this stage.
Step 6
Carefully fold in the popped popcorn, making sure it is evenly distributed while being gentle so as not to crush the popcorn too much.
Step 7
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 9
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve these whimsical muffins as a fun treat with their playful popcorn texture and magical purple hue!
