Although it isn’t specifically a fall flavor, Chai is one of my favorite flavors this time of year. I’ve been enjoying a new chai latte drink at our local coffee shop; Iit is amazing and it was the inspiration for making these Chai Latte Muffins. They are a lot like a spice cake but with the flavors of Chai tea incorporated. I hope you enjoy this delicious Chai Tea Muffins Recipe!

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. salt
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp cardamom
- 1/2 tsp all-spice
- 1/4 tsp fine ground black pepper
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 1/2 cup Oregon Chai (concentrated tea)
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup canola oil
For crumb topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Chai spice (combine 2 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp ginger, 1/2 tsp all-spice, 1 tsp cardamom, and 1/4 tsp pepper)

How To Make Chai Tea Muffins:
Preheat oven to 365 degrees
Combine the flour with the baking powder and spices. Set aside.
In a separate bowl blend together the sugar, whipping cream, Chai, vanilla, egg, and canola oil.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing to combine. Do not over stir.
Pour the muffin batter into greased muffin tins or tins lined with paper wrappers.
In another bowl combine the crumb ingredients. Sprinkle about 1 tbsp of crumb topping over each muffin.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool completely.
While muffins are cooling, mix together the cream cheese with the powdered sugar and tea. The amount of each will depend on thick you want the glaze. Using a mixer will give your glaze a more smooth consistency.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins and serve! They make a great breakfast, addition to brunch, or treat anytime of day. They would also be great served with this delicious Mocha frappe recipe.
