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.

Tips:

Use strong tea. This will give your muffins a more intense chai flavor. You can use your favorite brand of black tea, or you can make your own chai tea blend.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
Let the muffins cool slightly before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. They are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These Indian Chai Latte Muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are moist and fluffy, with a浓郁的茶香 and a sweet and creamy frosting. Whether you are looking for a breakfast treat, a snack, or a dessert, these muffins are sure to please.
