These passionfruit white chocolate muffins are full of fruity flavour with plenty of chunks of white chocolate. A moist and tender muffin with big fluffy muffin tops.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup milk
- ⅓ cup passionfruit pulp / 3 fresh passionfruit
- 125 g (4.5 oz / ½ cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 2 cups self-raising flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 180 g (6.5 oz / 1 cup) block white chocolate, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 C (355 F). Line a 12-hole (⅓-cup-capacity) muffin pan with paper cases.
- In a small jug, stir together the milk and passionfruit pulp. Set aside for 5 minutes. It may curdle, which is a good thing.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, caster sugar, eggs, vanilla. Add the milk and passionfruit mixture and whisk to combine.
- Sift the flour and salt over the wet ingredients. Fold the flour into the mixture until nearly combined. Fold in half of the chocolate chunks, being careful not to over-mix the batter.
- Distribute batter evenly among the muffin cases. Press the remaining white chocolate chunks on top of the muffins.
- Bake for a 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden and a skewer inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Storage
- You can keep the muffins un-refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- To freeze the muffins, allow to cool completely then place in an airtight container or zip-loc/freezer bags. Keep frozen for up to 6 months. Defrost at room temperature for 6 hours or overnight.
Substitutions
- Flour: You can replace 2 cups of self-raising flour with 2 cups of plain flour combined with 1 tablespoon of baking powder.
- Chocolate: you can replace the 180 g block of white chocolate with 180 g (6.5 oz / 1 heaped cup) of white chocolate chips. Dark chocolate also pairs beautifully with passionfruit, so you can use the same amount of chopped dark chocolate or dark chocolate chips.
