7. Fill Muffin Tin:
Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each hole about 2/3 full.
8. Bake:
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
9. Cool:
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve:
Serve the mini raspberry custard muffins warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
Tips:
- For a more intense raspberry flavor, use fresh raspberries instead of frozen ones.
- Don't overmix the batter; mix just until the ingredients are combined to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
- To prevent the raspberries from sinking to the bottom, lightly coat them with flour before folding them into the batter.
- Use a toothpick to check if the muffins are done. Insert into the center and if it comes out clean, they're ready.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set properly.
With their perfect blend of sweetness and tartness, these Mini Raspberry Custard Muffins are a go-to recipe for anyone looking to impress guests or simply enjoy a tasty homemade snack. Quick to prepare and even quicker to devour, these muffins are a keeper.
