Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Pasteurized Egg White
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1/4 cup Oil
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 2 teaspoon Vanilla Chai Spice
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Topping
- Coarse Sugar, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray a 6-well muffin pan with cooking spray and set aside to prepare for baking.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the pasteurized egg white, milk, and oil until smoothly blended.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, baking powder, and vanilla chai spice to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing and keep muffins tender.
- Fill Muffin Wells: Evenly distribute the batter among the six muffin wells, filling each about three-quarters full. Sprinkle coarse sugar on top of each muffin for a sweet, crunchy finish if desired.
- Bake Muffins: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffin tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before enjoying them warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use oil suitable for baking.
- The coarse sugar topping adds a nice crunch, but it’s optional based on preference.
- Vanilla chai spice can be made by combining ground cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and black pepper if not available pre-mixed.
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure muffins stay light and fluffy.
- These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
