Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 cups cooked white rice
• 0.5 cups milk
• 0.5 cups honey
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 2 items large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Add the cooked white rice into the dry ingredients and gently toss to coat the rice and evenly distribute it through the mixture.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, honey, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well mixed.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 of the way full.

Step 7

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 16–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
