Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Passionfruit pulp (fresh or canned)
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 0.25 cups Whole milk
• 2 units Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoons Passionfruit seeds (optional, for texture)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with butter or nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the passionfruit pulp, melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

If using, fold in the passionfruit seeds for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

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.
