How to Make Maltesers Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line two 12-cup mini muffin tins with paper liners.
  2. Crush 1 cup of Maltesers coarsely.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 cup caster sugar.
  4. Add the crushed Maltesers to the dry ingredients and mix well.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, and 1/2 cup milk.
  6. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fill each muffin liner about 2/3 full.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tins for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. While the muffins are cooling, prepare the icing: Beat together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tbsp melted butter, and 2-3 tbsp milk until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
  11. Once the muffins are completely cool, frost each muffin with the icing.
  12. Decorate each muffin with a whole Malteser.
  13. Enjoy your delicious homemade Maltesers Muffins!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
