This muffin mulling spice recipe has a delicious spiced flavor that’s perfect on a cold winter night. This mulling spice infused recipe starts with a gluhwein reduction and uses that in the muffin recipe!
Ingredients:
For the Mulling Spice Reduction:
- 1 bottle of sweet red wine
- 2 Boozn Sam’s Glow Cinnamon Spice Bags
For the Muffins:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Mulling Spice Reduction: In a saucepan, combine red wine and two Boozn Sam’s Glow Cinnamon Mulling Spice infusion kits. Simmer over low heat for 20 – 25 minutes, until reduced by 1/3 to 1/2. Allow the reduction to cool. Toss out the spice bags.
2. Pour yourself a mug of mulling spice wine: You’ve worked hard and earned a reward. Pour yourself a 12 oz mug of gluhwein from the mulling spice reduction you just made. Add a big ‘ol chunk of cinnamon bark, from the Boozn Sam’s infusion kit.
3. Prepare the Muffins: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cloves.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Finally, fold in 1 cup of the cooled Glühwein reduction until evenly incorporated.
4. Bake the Muffins: Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
5. Serve: Serve the mulling spice muffins.
Enjoy your muffin mulling spice recipe, which combines the warm and spiced flavors of mulled wine!
