Ingredients
For the muffins:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 orange for zest and juice
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
For the cream cheese frosting:
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1 tbsp honey
- Fresh strawberries
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line the muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, mix the eggs, butter, honey, orange juice, and cocoa powder.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and orange zest. Mix until combined.
- Spoon the batter into the mini muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 12 to 13 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the muffins bake, blend the cream cheese and honey until smooth, then transfer the mixture to a piping bag.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Remove them gently and place them on a cooling rack.
- Once cooled, pipe the cream cheese on each muffin.
- Place a strawberry on top and enjoy your mini Christmas muffins!
Notes
- For uniform Christmas muffins that bake evenly, use an ice cream scoop to portion the batter into your lined muffin tin.
- Don't forget to leave some room for your holiday muffins to rise when you fill the lined muffin cups.
- Make sure your baking soda is fresh so your Christmas mini muffins rise the way they should!
