Introduction
The Muffles, a beloved snack that has captured the hearts of many, could soon be withdrawn from supermarkets. These small, fluffy treats have been a staple in snack aisles, offering a sweet and satisfying bite. However, recent rumors and shifts in consumer preferences have sparked questions about their future on supermarket shelves. In this article, we'll explore the potential reasons behind the withdrawal of the Muffles, what it could mean for fans of the treat, and how you can still enjoy them at home.


Ingredients (for homemade Muffles):

  • 200 g of flour

  • 100 g of sugar

  • 1 tsp of baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract

  • 1 egg

  • 150 ml of milk

  • 50 g of melted butter

  • A pinch of salt

  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)


Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F) and greasing a muffin tray or lining it with paper cases.

  2. Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well to combine the wet ingredients.

  3. Combine the dry and wet ingredients: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  4. Bake: Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  5. Cool and serve: Let the Muffles cool in the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.


Serving and Storage Tips:

  • Serving: These homemade Muffles are perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even as a light dessert. You can serve them with a dollop of whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.

  • Storage: Store your Muffles in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to a month. Simply wrap them in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. To reheat, pop them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or warm them in the oven at 180°C for a few minutes.
