Ingredients
300g all-purpose flour
200g granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 large eggs
240ml milk (any kind)
120ml vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
Orange ready-to-roll fondant
Black ready-to-roll fondant
White chocolate chips or candy eyes
Vanilla or cream cheese frosting
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan) and line a muffin tin with 12 paper cases.
2. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
3. In another bowl, beat eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla until just combined.
4. Combine wet and dry ingredients, mixing until no dry flour remains. Do not overmix.
5. Divide batter evenly among muffin cases, filling each 2/3 full.
6. Bake 18–20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
7. Spread frosting on cooled muffins as a base for decorations.
8. Roll out orange fondant and cut circles to cover muffin tops. Place over frosting.
9. Use black fondant to cut out jack-o’-lantern faces and press onto orange circles, or add candy eyes for a monster look.
Notes
Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Refrigerate up to 5 days or freeze unfrosted muffins for up to 3 months.
Let refrigerated muffins come to room temperature before serving.
Alternative: Use orange frosting and black icing if no fondant is available.
Avoid overmixing batter and frosting warm muffins to prevent dense or soggy results.
