Ube Muffins

If you don’t have time making that ube cake you’ve been craving for then make this instead, it’s equally as delicious. Ube Muffins is a type of muffin infused with ube extract and ube halaya topped with a sweet buttery coconut streusel.

I was so surprised when I made this using my trusty muffin recipe, the results was really good, it can hold up to its nearest competitor the ube cake, the only difference is that this one does not have icing, in replacement it uses this sweet coconut streusel crumble that adds an interesting crunch and flavour to the whole muffin. Honestly this is one of the best if not the best muffins I tried and even made to date, that subtle earthy sweet flavour you get from ube, with pockets of cubed ube halaya added into the mix, and a buttery sweet coconut crunch similar to cookies, gives it a really satisfying moist texture similar to when we made kamote muffins before.

A perfect match to any hot drinks like coffee, milk or tea, it is not too sweet and not too heavy, just right. So, if you are craving for some ube cake but don’t have that much time to make one, give this one a shot, trust me, this is good if not better than that cake, plus it has less calories too as no icings were involved in making these.
