Chai Apple Muffins.

Oh hello beautiful vanilla chai spiced Apple Muffins with soft, tender apple pieces!

Let me start off my saying… Chai is an often under-estimated tea used in baking. It’s looked at as just a tea. But Chai can be added to anything. Pancakes, Cakes…and my favourite…muffins..

These muffins are a rip-off from a Honey Chai Apple Pancakes recipe I made a while back now..way back before I ever knew I was going to start blogging my stuff. These muffins turned put super fluffy, soft and sweet with a hint of vanilla chai and those beautiful soft apple pieces bursting through every mouthful.

These soft muffins hit the spot. Super fluffy and irresistibly moist and so simple to make.

Start off by brewing your tea.

Notes

The Caramel sauce is best eaten straight after cooling, however, you can store it in the refrigerator and simply reheat over stove top when you need it.

    Hi Karina, Really love your recipes and enjoy so many.
    But I have family who can only eat white flour, honestly.
    So do I need to adjust the recipes when you use the
    other flours? Would really love to make as you directed
    but if is impossible for this little boy.

      Hi Helen, you can use all white flour in these without any problems. You may need to add just a tablespoon extra, but they will still turn out perfectly!

    Hi! Would it work without the 1/2c raw sugar/natural sweetener?
