Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
2. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and sugar. Mix in the white chocolate pieces or chips.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, passion fruit pulp, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Combine Ingredients:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
5. Fill Muffin Tins:
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
6. Bake:
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
7. Cool:
- Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Prepare the Glaze:
- While the muffins are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon of water until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if necessary, a few drops at a time.
9. Glaze the Muffins:
- Once the muffins are completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top of each muffin. Allow the glaze to set before serving.

Passionfruit and white chocolate muffins FAQ:

How long should I bake the muffins?

Bake the muffins for 15-20 minutes in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F). Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.

What can I use as a substitute for white chocolate?

You can substitute white chocolate with a combination of yogurt and a bit of sugar for a healthier option, or use semi-sweet chocolate chips if you prefer a different flavor.

How should I store the muffins?

Store the cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven for best results.

What does it mean if the muffins are dense?

Dense muffins may result from over-mixing the batter or using too much flour. Ensure not to over-mix after adding wet ingredients and measure flour correctly.

Can I use all-purpose flour instead of self-raising flour?

Yes, you can use all-purpose flour, but you need to add baking powder. For every cup of all-purpose flour, add 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder to achieve similar leavening.

Tips:

- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting; this helps them blend more easily and evenly.

- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients to avoid overmixing, which can lead to dense muffins.

- Use a toothpick to check for doneness. Insert it into the center of a muffin – if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the muffins are done.

- For an extra burst of flavor, use fresh passionfruit pulp instead of preserved or canned varieties.

- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

- Store the muffins in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to three days, or freeze them for longer storage.
