WHITE CHOCOLATE-MACADAMIA NUT MUFFINS

White Chocolate-Macadamia Nut Muffins image

There are plenty of sweets on site with the white chocolate-macadamia nut combination, but not one muffin could I find. These are terrific. Toasted coconut is added and what a natural affinity these three flavors have for each other! These are sweet muffins, perhaps more suitable for teatime than for breakfast, but we eat them any time of day. I got the recipe from "White Chocolate," a book by Janice Wald Henderson.

Time 21m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups biscuit and baking mix
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup coarsely chopped white chocolate (we tested with Bakers Premium white chocolate)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts
3/4 cup half-and-half
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

Combine baking mix and sugar in a large bowl; stir in chocolate and nuts. Make a well in center of mixture. Combine half-and-half and remaining 3 ingredients; add to dry ingredients, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
Spoon into greased muffin pans, filling two-thirds full. Bake at 400° for 11 to 12 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean. Remove from pans immediately.

Tips:

Mise en Place: As with any baking recipe, it's always a good idea to have all of your ingredients measured and prepped before you start mixing. This will help ensure that you don't miss anything and that your muffins turn out perfectly.
Properly Measure Flour: When measuring flour, be sure to use the scoop and level method. This means spooning the flour into your measuring cup and then leveling it off with a knife or straight edge. Do not scoop the flour directly from the bag, as this will result in too much flour being packed into the cup.
Creaming Butter and Sugar: When creaming the butter and sugar together, be sure to do so until the mixture is light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, which will make your muffins light and airy.
Do Not Overmix: Once you have added the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mix only until the batter is just combined. Overmixing will result in tough, dense muffins.
Fill Muffin Tins Properly: When filling the muffin tins, fill them only about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly without overflowing.
Bake Muffins at the Right Temperature: Be sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking the muffins. Baking the muffins at too low of a temperature will result in dense, undercooked muffins, while baking them at too high of a temperature will result in dry, overcooked muffins.

Conclusion:

These white chocolate macadamia muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their moist, fluffy texture and sweet, nutty flavor, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy baking project, give these muffins a try!
