Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Cinnamon ground
- 1/4 tsp Nutmeg ground
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter softened, unsalted
- 1 cup Sugar powdered
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Mix-Ins
- 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips
- 1/2 cup Fruits chopped, mixed
- 1/4 tsp Rainbow Food Coloring gel or liquid
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners. This ensures the muffins won't stick.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. This incorporates air for a tender crumb.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins tough.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped mixed fruits.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the food coloring and continue whipping until desired color is achieved.
- Once the muffins are cool, frost them with the colorful whipped cream and enjoy!
- Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra crunch and a burst of flavor, fold in chopped nuts like walnuts or pistachios along with the chocolate chips—these pair especially well with the cinnamon and fruity notes.
- If using edible colors, swirl them gently into the batter just before baking to create a marbled, tie-dye effect that looks playful when the muffins are broken open.
- To keep any added fresh fruit from sinking to the bottom, toss fruit pieces lightly in flour before folding them into the batter.
- For a fun presentation, top each muffin with a slice of fruit or a few extra chocolate chips before baking, then dust with a little cinnamon sugar once cooled for an inviting finish.
Expert Tips
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to tough muffins.
- Fill muffin liners about ¾ full to allow for rising without overflowing.
- Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, they're ready.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
