Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners. TIP: Lightly grease the liners with oil for easy muffin removal.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. TIP: If the brown sugar is lumpy, break it up with your fingers.
3
Melt the butter and whisk it together with the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. TIP: Don't overheat the butter; just melt it to avoid cooking the eggs.
4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. TIP: Avoid overmixing to ensure the muffins are soft and airy.
5
Fill each muffin liner halfway with batter, add a teaspoon of caramel sauce, then top with more batter until the liners are 2/3 full. TIP: Use a baking-stable caramel sauce to prevent burning.
6
Bake the muffins for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown. TIP: Check for doneness with a toothpick – if it comes out clean, the muffins are ready.
7
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. TIP: Drizzle with extra caramel sauce before serving.
