Warming chai spices make these muffins extra special on a winter morning! Hot from the oven these muffins are hard to beat and will be on your table in 30 minutes. Vanilla Chai Muffins One thing I miss so much due to our stay at home orders is a Chai Latte from Coffee Bean. Oh that sensation that you get from a foamy hot drink that is slightly sweet and heady from chai spices...boy I miss that feeling! Well I turned my favorite drink in to my new favorite muffin. This muffin has everything the drink has. Slightly sweet and full of vanilla and chai spices with an extra sprinkle of sanding sugar on the top for a bit of crunch and an extra sweet bite. Heaven I must say. Even MGG said that he thought this was a great muffins...so much so he ate two! To make this muffin you need some Vanilla Chai Spice which may be purchased as a blend. This makes things a lot easier than blending your own. If you would like to make your own see my recipe down below in the Kitchen Notes & Tips section. You could also use Oregon Chai vanilla powder or liquid concentrate to get a similar flavor. These muffins are the perfect breakfast treat on a winter morning. They are equally good during winter brunch, with coffee or tea, or as a afternoon snack. Definitely bakery worthy and so much cheaper. Plus did I mention that you can whip these up and have a hot fresh muffin in 30 minutes? Love that! What Ingredients do I need? egg milk canola oil or vegetable oil flour sugar baking powder vanilla chai spice mix (see Kitchen Notes below for sources) salt sanding sugar (optional topping) Substitutions and Variations Make mini muffins instead of regular sized muffins Double the recipe for 12 muffins Use liquid chai flavoring instead of a mix Add some mini chocolate chips Add some chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch Substitute your favorite sweetener for the sugar Use yogurt instead of milk Use butter instead of canola oil Use 1/2 the amount of flour with whole wheat or white whole wheat flour. Kitchen Tips and Notes Cook mini muffins for about 12-14 minutes Muffins freeze well. Wrap each one individually in cling wrap and freeze up to 3 months. Do not overmix your muffin batter. Overmixing causes your muffins to come out flat and tough Homemade Chai Spice Blend: To make your own chai spice blend 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 1/4 teaspoon cardamon, and 1/4 teaspoon all-spice. Chai Spice Blend sources: Spice House Chai Spices - I use this one and it has a hint of vanilla in it. Amazon - Watkins Chai Powder - This does have a trace of tea in it and no vanilla. If you want a vanilla hint add some to the muffin batter along with this spice. Amazon - Spicewalla Chai Masala - This Blend does not have any tea in it, nor does it have vanilla. If you want a vanilla hint add some to the muffin batter along with this spice. Morton & Bassett Chai Spice - most major grocery stores carry this brand. This does not contain vanilla. If you want a vanilla hint add some to the batter along with this spice. HUNGRY FOR MORE?
