Muffin Base

Method

Muffin Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  5. 5

    Prepare Muffin Tin

    Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with cooking spray.

  6. 6

    Fill Muffin Cups

    Spoon the muffin batter into each cup, filling them about 2/3 full.

  7. 7

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  8. 8

    Cool Muffins

    Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Danish Filling Preparation

  1. 9

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

  2. 10

    Assemble Danish

    Once the muffins are cool, use a small spoon to create a well in the center of each muffin and fill it with the cream cheese filling.

  3. 11

    Top with Fruit

    Place fresh fruit on top of the cream cheese filling in each muffin for added flavor and decoration.
