✔️ Why should you try it?
- Quick and easy Biscoff muffin recipe.
- Perfect for Biscoff lovers.
- Freezer-friendly (minus the topping).
- Great for parties and bake sales.
🥘 Ingredients
- Biscoff Spead - use the smooth Biscoff spread for this recipe.
- Biscoff Sandwich Biscuits - the round Biscoff cream-filled sandwich cookies can be found in all major supermarkets. Alternatively, you could use the normal rectangular Biscoff biscuits.
- Sugar - I used caster sugar. For a deeper caramel flavour use light brown sugar instead.
- Plain Flour - there is no need to sieve the flour first.
- Bicarbonate of Soda - the raising agent in these muffins.
- Yogurt - plain full-fat greek yogurt.
- Eggs - 2 large free-range eggs at room temperature.
- Butter - use unsalted butter which needs to be melted for the recipe.
- Vanilla Extract - a good quality vanilla extract and not vanilla essence.
- Cinnamon - a pinch of ground cinnamon helps to bring out the cookie butter flavour. You could also use mixed spice.
🔪 Instructions
The recipe card with ingredient quantities and detailed instructions can be found at the bottom of the post
One: Put the flour, bicarbonate of soda, sugar, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.
Two: Whisk together the wet ingredients and pour over the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a wooden spoon.
Three: Equally distribute half of the muffin batter between the 12 muffin cases.
Four: Spoon ½ teaspoon of Biscoff spread on top.
Five: Spoon the remaining muffin batter equally between the 12 muffin cases.
Six: Bake in the oven for 18 minutes.
Seven: Allow to cool before piping (or spooning) on 1 tablespoon of Biscoff spread.
Eight: Place a Biscoff sandwich cookie on top and enjoy!
💭 Top tips
- Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before starting the recipe. If you keep your jar of Biscoff spread in the fridge (why do you do this?!), make sure you take it out in plenty of time.
- Don't over-mix the muffin batter. Over mixing causes muffins to be tough and rubbery. You want light and fluffy muffins, so fold and mix gently.
🍴 Serving suggestions
These fluffy biscoff muffins are delicious with a cup of tea or glass of cold milk.
They could also be served as a dessert with a scoop of honeycomb ice cream.
📖 Variations
- Add a handful of milk chocolate chips to the muffin batter before baking.
- Make the muffins chocolatey by replacing 25g of plain flour with cocoa powder.
- For extra naughtiness, drizzle melted Biscoff spread over the muffins before serving.
- Add crushed Biscoff cookies to the muffin batter for crunch.
🥡 Storage
Store: The muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days, although they are best eaten fresh on the day they are made.
Freeze: The muffins can also be frozen (minus the topping) for up to 3 months. Allow them to cool completely before placing in a freezer-safe container.
