Method

1
Preheat the oven to 180°C/190°C fan/gas mark 5. Grease and line a 6 portioned muffin tin with Lurpak® Plant Based.
TIP
Choose a muffin tin with 6 holes to get 6 large muffins or one with 12 holes to get medium-sized muffins.
2
Melt Lurpak® Plant Based and pour into a large bowl. Whisk in sour cream and eggs.
3
Combine all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.
4
In another bowl, combine the crumble top ingredients and set aside.
TIP
For the crispiest crumble top, use cold Lurpak® Plant Based. For best results, store the crumble mixture in the fridge until you are ready to use it, ensuring the plant based stays cold and the crumble turns out perfectly crisp.

5
Working quickly, fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Add raspberries, rhubarb, and pistachios.
6
Divide the batter between the muffin cups, sprinkle with the crumble top and bake for 25-30 minutes until well risen and golden. Place on a cooling rack.
TIP
Grab an ice cream scoop to easily portion out the muffin batter. This way, each muffin pan hole gets the same amount, ensuring all your muffins turn out the same size and bake evenly.
7
Cool in the tin on a rack for 15 minutes and serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to three days.

Questions about breakfast muffins

Make a batch of our delightful breakfast muffins to satisfy your morning cravings. Explore our frequently asked questions to learn how to make the best breakfast muffins.

  • To ensure a crisp crumble on your breakfast muffins, use cold Lurpak® Plant Based. Mix it with flour and sugar until it resembles coarse crumbs. Generously sprinkle this over the muffin batter before baking, or maybe try squeezing some of the mixture together to create slightly bigger lumps. This ensures a variated texture with crunchy pieces in different sizes. Be careful not to over-mix the crumble topping; it should remain crumbly rather than pasty.

  • To keep the breakfast muffins fresh, store them in an airtight container after they have cooled. They will stay fresh at room temperature for up to 3 days. If it is warm outside or you want to keep them a bit longer, store them in the fridge. For longer storage, freeze the muffins for up to 3 months. Briefly warm them in the oven to revive their moist, freshly baked texture.

  • Both fresh and frozen fruit and berries work well in muffins. When fresh, they provide a firmer texture and a burst of flavour, but they might bleed into the batter a bit. When frozen, they make the muffins moister, meaning they might need a bit more baking time. To get the best results with frozen fruit and berries, add them straight from the freezer and toss them in a bit of flour first.

Crispy oat and pistachio crumble

The crumble topping is the star of these breakfast muffins. Its pistachios add a crunchy texture that contrasts with the soft muffin base. Brown sugar adds a deep, almost caramelised flavour, and Lurpak® Plant Based makes sure it bakes into a perfect crisp. Enjoy the chopped pistachios in the crumble, adding to the crunchiness and contributing a beautiful green colour and a delicate, nutty flavour. As the muffins bake, the topping forms a golden crust that makes them look beautifully rustic and homemade.

Make fruity and sweet additions

Make a few additions to your breakfast muffins to start the day with something sweeter. Drizzle honey over the topping before baking to sweeten the crumble and create a shiny finish. Sprinkle sugar on top for extra crunch and a hint of caramel, forming a crisp crust to complement the soft muffin.

Add citrus zest or warming spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg to infuse the crumble with flavour. These additions pair wonderfully with the fruit, adding a layer of complexity. You can also create a delicious maple Lurpak® Plant Based spread by mixing 1 tbsp of maple syrup with 3 tbsp of Lurpak® Plant Based and spreading this over the warm muffins.

Get creative with fruits and nuts. Add bananas, pear pieces, diced apples, or blueberries for a fruity twist, or try pecans and coconut flakes for added crunch. Sunflower or pumpkin seeds can also bring a pleasant texture, making the muffins even more perfect for breakfast.
