2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

3. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg lightly. Add the milk and vegetable oil, and mix until well combined.

4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

5. Add Kiwi: Gently fold in the diced kiwi fruit into the batter until evenly distributed. Again, avoid overmixing to maintain a light texture.

6. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. This allows the muffins to rise evenly during baking.

7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips for Success

• Fresh Kiwi: Use ripe kiwi fruit for the best flavor and texture in your muffins. Dice the kiwi into small pieces to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
• Gentle Mixing: Avoid overmixing the batter once you add the wet ingredients to the dry. This helps keep the muffins light and fluffy.
• Baking Time: Oven temperatures may vary, so keep an eye on the muffins towards the end of baking to prevent over-browning.

Serving Suggestions

These Kiwi Muffins are delightful on their own for breakfast or as a snack. Serve them warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey for extra indulgence.
