Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 120 grams Unsalted butter
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 120 milliliters Whole milk
• 200 grams Mincemeat
• 100 grams Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Dark rum

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the mincemeat gently until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

While the muffins are baking, prepare the rum glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and dark rum until smooth.

Step 10

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Once the muffins are cool, drizzle the rum glaze over the tops using a spoon or piping bag.

Step 12

Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy these muffins warm or at room temperature!
