How do I get a crisp crumble on my 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.

How should I store the breakfast muffins to keep them fresh?

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.

Should I use fresh or frozen rhubarb and raspberries?

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.

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C/190°C fan/gas mark 5. Grease and line a 6 portioned muffin tin with Lurpak® Plant Based.

Choose a muffin tin with 6 holes to get 6 large muffins or one with 12 holes to get medium-sized muffins.

Melt Lurpak® Plant Based and pour into a large bowl. Whisk in sour cream and eggs.

Combine all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.

In another bowl, combine the crumble top ingredients and set aside.

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.

Working quickly, fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Add raspberries, rhubarb, and pistachios.

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.

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.

Cool in the tin on a rack for 15 minutes and serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to three days.
