Time 1h45m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons finely ground chai (from 2 to 3 tea bags)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon finely ground chai (from 3 to 4 tea bags)
2 large eggs
3/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Confectioners? sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Make the topping: In a medium bowl, mix the flour with the oats, brown sugar, chai, and salt. With your hands, rub the butter into the mixture until incorporated, pressing it into small clumps. Freeze until chilled, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the batter: Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper or foil liners. In another medium bowl, whisk the flour with the baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the 1 stick of butter with the granulated sugar and chai at medium speed until fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then beat in the sour cream and vanilla. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then gradually add the dry ingredients and beat until just incorporated.
  • Using a 3- to 4-tablespoon ice cream scoop, scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups; top with the chilled topping. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

CHAI MUFFINS



Chai Muffins image

Taking tea in muffin form seems ideal for breakfast, and the warm spices of chai bring scented richness without heft. I've made these dairy-free, but if you want to, you can easily use lowfat milk in place of the almond milk, below. And if you can't get the white spelt flour, which is magnificent in muffins, use 300 grams (10 1/2 ounces) plain flour and 100 grams (3 1/2 ounces) plain whole-wheat (not bread) flour instead. I want to make it as easy as possible for you to make these, as this is a particularly splendid specimen of muffin. Talking of which, it makes sense to steep the milk, leave it to cool, and measure out all the ingredients, putting the eggs by the side, the night before, so that you can shimmy into the kitchen in the morning and bake up a batch without adding a furrow to your brow.

Time 1h

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 9

225 milliliters (1 cup minus 1 tablespoon) unsweetened almond milk
2 chai tea bags
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
400 grams (14 ounces) white spelt flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
150 grams (5 ounces) soft light-brown sugar
75 grams (2 1/2 ounces) natural skin-on almonds, roughly chopped
2 large eggs
150 milliliters (1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons) sunflower oil

Steps:

  • Warm the almond milk with the contents of the 2 tea bags (I just rip them open over the pan) and cinnamon--stirring to mix--and leave to cool.
  • While the milk's cooling, preheat the oven to 200 degrees C (400 degrees F)/gas mark 6 and line your muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, measure out the flour, baking powder, sugar and all but 2 tablespoons of the chopped almonds, and combine well.
  • When the milk has cooled, add the eggs and oil, then whisk well.
  • Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients, using a wooden spoon. Don't be too efficient about this: a slightly lumpy batter makes for lighter muffins.
  • Divide the mixture between the muffin cups (it will fill them well), then sprinkle equally with the remaining almonds and bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean and the muffins are slightly risen and pleasingly golden on top.
  • Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool for about 10 minutes before devouring.
