Ingredients

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1 2/3 cups sugar
  • 5 egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon rum extract
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 3/4 cup chopped nuts
  • 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk

Rum Whipped Cream:

  • 2 cups whipped cream
  • 1 teaspoon rum extract

Directions

  •

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Put muffin cups in a muffin pan. Spray the muffin cups with cooking spray and flour them.
  •  
    2
    In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Let the mixture rest.

    Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the pan. Once out of the pan, let rest for another 10 minutes.
