Ube Muffins Recipe

Preheat oven to 350?F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan.

Make ube swirl: Mix 1/2 c. ube halaya and milk together in a small bowl. Set aside.

Mix 1 cup ube halaya, flavoring, oil, eggs, honey, and cream in a large bowl. Sift flour and baking powder over wet ingredients. Add salt. Using a spatula, fold dry mixture into wet until just combined. Scoop mixture into prepared pans. Spoon a teaspoon of the ube swirl mixture on top. Using a toothpick, swirl into the batter.

Make topping: In a medium bowl, mix brown sugar, coconut, and flour. Using a fork, press butter into the sugar mixture until crumbly. Sprinkle muffins with topping.

Bake muffins until a toothpick emerges cleanly from the pan, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack until cool enough to touch. Remove muffins from pan, and serve while warm with butter on the side.
