🧁Muffins
Complexity: Easy Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1/4 cup Vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 4 oz (softened) Cream cheese
  • 1 cup Powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup Coconut flakes
  • 6 medium (tops cut off to mimic Santa hats) Strawberries

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

  3. 3

    In another bowl, beat the egg, then mix in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the muffins fluffy.

  5. 5

    Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each about two-thirds full.

  6. 6

    Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool on a wire rack.

  7. 7

    While the muffins are cooling, prepare the frosting by beating the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.

  8. 8

    Once the muffins have cooled completely, frost the tops of each muffin with the cream cheese frosting.

  9. 9

    Sprinkle coconut flakes over the frosted muffins to resemble Santa's beard.

  10. 10

    Place a strawberry on top of each muffin, cut side down, to mimic Santa’s hat.

  11. 11

    For added detail, you can pipe a small dollop of frosting on the tip of the strawberry for the pom-pom of Santa's hat.

  12. 12

    Chill the muffins for about 10 minutes to set, then serve and enjoy!
