Instructions
-
Prepare the butter: Begin by allowing the butter to soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This ensures that the butter incorporates more easily into the mixture.
-
Mix the wet ingredients: Once the butter has softened, place it into a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, whisk the butter until creamy and smooth. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy.
-
Add yogurt and lemon zest: Add the fruit yogurt (mango and passion fruit) to the butter-sugar mixture, followed by the zest of one lemon. Mix everything together until well combined.
-
Incorporate dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring constantly with the electric mixer on low speed. Continue mixing until everything is fully incorporated, and you have a thick batter.
-
Prepare the muffin pan: Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Using a spatula, transfer the batter into a piping bag for easier portioning.
-
Fill the muffin cups: Pipe approximately 80g of the muffin batter into each muffin cup. The batter should reach just below the rim of each paper liner.
-
Bake the muffins: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the muffins for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and serve: Once baked, allow the muffins to cool slightly before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can also be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips:
- For a touch of extra flavor, you can add small chunks of fresh mango or passion fruit pulp into the batter.
- If you prefer a lighter texture, you can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with cake flour.
- These muffins pair wonderfully with a cup of tea or coffee, making them perfect for afternoon snacks or dessert!
Enjoy your Mango & Passion Fruit Yogurt Muffins, a deliciously fruity treat that brings a tropical twist to your baking repertoire!
