For the Muffin Batter

Self-raising Flour – Provides structure; you can use all-purpose flour with baking powder as a substitute.
Brown Sugar – Adds sweetness and moisture; feel free to use granulated sugar for a milder flavor.
Milk – Ensures moisture and tenderness; any plant-based milk works well for a dairy-free option.
Oil – Contributes fat for texture; melted butter can enhance the flavor beautifully.
Biscoff Spread – Delivers rich flavor and sweetness; cookie butter can be used if Biscoff isn’t available.
Vanilla Extract – Adds depth of flavor; optional but it enhances sweetness nicely.
Egg – Acts as a binding agent; swap for a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 2.5 tbsp water) for an egg-free version.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Easy Biscoff Muffins

Step 1: Prepare Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour and brown sugar until well combined, ensuring there are no lumps. The mixture should appear light and fluffy. This forms the base of your Easy Biscoff Muffins. Set the bowl aside while you prepare the wet ingredients.

Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, oil, melted Biscoff spread, vanilla extract, and the egg. Whisk everything together until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. The Biscoff spread should be fully incorporated, creating a luscious blend of flavors that promises a delightful muffin texture.

Step 3: Combine Mixtures
Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, fold the mixture until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this will help maintain the light and fluffy texture of the Easy Biscoff Muffins. A few flour streaks are perfectly fine to keep the muffins airy and tender.

Step 4: Incorporate Cookies
Fold in the chopped Biscoff cookies with caution, ensuring they are evenly dispersed throughout the batter without overmixing. This step adds delightful crunchy bits to your muffins, enhancing both flavor and texture. You’ll start to see the sweet crumbles peeking through the batter.

Step 5: Bake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with twelve muffin liners and evenly scoop the batter into each cup, filling them about three-quarters full. Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, signaling they are done.

Step 6: Cool and Top
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, drizzle each muffin with melted Biscoff spread and sprinkle with chopped Biscoff cookies for an extra layer of indulgence, making your Easy Biscoff Muffins absolutely irresistible.

Expert Tips for Easy Biscoff Muffins

Don’t Overmix: Mixing gently is crucial for fluffy muffins; overmixing can cause them to become dense.
Check Early: Start checking for doneness a few minutes before the suggested baking time; this helps avoid over-baking your Easy Biscoff Muffins.
Tulip Liners: Consider using tulip muffin liners for an elegant look and easier muffin removal for your special occasions.
Cool Before Topping: Allow muffins to cool slightly before adding toppings; this prevents the drizzle from melting away completely.
Store Properly: Keep your muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain their moisture.

How to Store and Freeze Easy Biscoff Muffins

Room Temperature: Store your muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to keep them moist and delicious.

Freezer: For longer storage, freeze muffins individually wrapped in plastic wrap or in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.

Thawing: To enjoy, thaw at room temperature or microwave for a few seconds until warmed through, bringing back that fresh-baked taste.

Reheating: Lightly heat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes to refresh their fluffy texture.

Make Ahead Options

These Easy Biscoff Muffins are a fantastic choice for meal prep! You can prepare the muffin batter up to 24 hours in advance by mixing all the dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately, then refrigerating the wet mixture until you’re ready to bake. When you’re set to enjoy, simply combine the mixtures, fold in your chopped Biscoff cookies, and bake. Additionally, you can also freeze the unbaked batter in individual muffin cups for up to 3 months. To ensure your muffins maintain their freshness, store them in an airtight container after cooling or freeze them for longer storage. When it’s time to serve, reheat them in the oven for that just-baked warmth that you and your family will adore!

Easy Biscoff Muffins Recipe FAQs

How do I choose ripe ingredients for my Easy Biscoff Muffins?
Absolutely! For the best flavors, ensure your Biscoff spread is smooth and easy to drizzle. Check your eggs; they should be fresh with no cracks. When selecting milk, any variety works, but I usually go for whole milk for richness. Lastly, for vanilla extract, opt for pure over imitation for a deeper flavor.

How should I store my Easy Biscoff Muffins?
To maintain their scrumptious taste, keep these muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you notice them starting to dry out, try using a slice of bread in the container; it helps keep the muffins moist!

Can I freeze my Easy Biscoff Muffins?
Absolutely! To freeze, wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap or place them in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply thaw them at room temperature for about 30 minutes or microwave them for a few seconds until warm.

What if my muffins turn out dense or dry?
Very! If you find your muffins are dense, it might be due to overmixing the batter, so remember to mix just until combined. For dryness, ensure you’re measuring your flour correctly; using too much can lead to dryness. For fluffier muffins, consider using fresh ingredients and checking them a few minutes early during baking.

Are there any dietary considerations for Easy Biscoff Muffins?
Absolutely! If you’re cooking for guests with allergies, this recipe can easily accommodate them. Just swap the egg for a flax egg as mentioned (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 2.5 tbsp water), use dairy-free milk, and stick with plant-based oils. Always double-check your Biscoff spread’s ingredients, as some may contain allergens.

How can I enhance my Easy Biscoff Muffins with variations?
I often love mixing in chocolate chips or nuts to add extra texture and flavor! Start by adding about ½ cup of chocolate chips or chopped nuts into the batter when folding in the Biscoff cookies in Step 4 of your recipe, and enjoy a fun twist on this delicious classic.
