Time 36m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 cup soymilk
4 black chai tea teabags
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup plain yogurt
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 pinch ground pepper

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Heat milk to almost boiling (in the microwave or a small sauce pan) and steep the tea bags for about 10 minutes, making very strong, milky tea. Don't worry about making the tea bitter (which can happen as a result of oversteeping) because you won't taste it in the end product.
In a large bowl whisk together oil, yogurt, sugar and vanilla.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices. Pour half into the yogurt mixture, stirring well, followed by the tea mixture and the rest of the flour. Stir only until just combined, then evenly distribute into prepared muffin tin.
Bake for about 21-23 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the muffin springs back when lightly pressed.
Cool completely on a wire rack.
Top with sifted confectioners' sugar when cooled. Mix 2 tbsp cocoa powder with 1 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg together in a small bowl. Sift lightly over top of the sugar (using a stencil for accuracy, if you want) to add a bit of extra spice.

Time 30m

Yield 12 muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup white chocolate chips
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375.
Grease 12 muffin cups or use butter-flavored spray.
Mix all dry ingredients together, add milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla, mix well. Stir in white chocolate chips.
Spoon into 12 muffin tins.
Mix cream cheese, vanilla and sugar together until smooth. Using the back of a spoon make an indentation in the top of each muffin and add a heaping teaspoon of cream cheese mixture into the indentation.
Bake at 375 for 18 to 25 minutes, until edges of muffins begin to turn golden brown. Test with toothpick in side of muffin away from cream cheese filling. Remove and cool.
If using mini-muffin cups, bake 15-18 minutes.

Tips:

Use good quality chai tea. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your muffins.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the muffins tough.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will make the muffins dry.
Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Chai latte muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are moist and flavorful, with a delicious chai spice flavor. The cream cheese frosting is the perfect finishing touch. These muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
