Ingredients
  

Muffins

Glaze (optional)

  • 1/4 cup sifted confectioner's sugar
  • 1/8 tsp. vanilla paste
  • 1-2 tsp. +/- milk of choice dairy or non-dairy

Instructions

  • Coat 12-15 muffin tins or 24 mini muffin tins with cooking oil or line with muffin papers. Preheat oven to 325° F convection or 350° F static.
  • Whip sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add eggs and stir. Mix in agave nectar and applesauce until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients, then slowly stir into the wet mix while adding brewed chai tea or latte blend. Stir until smooth. Fold in raisins if using.
  • Fill the muffin tins 2/3 full and bake until they are light brown: approximately 11-12 minutes for mini muffins or 20-25 minutes for regular muffins. A toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins should come out with dry crumbs and the muffins should spring back to a light touch.
  • Remove to fully cool before glazing, if desired.
  • To make glaze, add sifted confectioner's sugar to a small bowl, then stir in vanilla paste and milk only until glaze is thin enough to drizzle (see photo).
