Velvety Caramel Flan Muffins are a delicious twist on classic flan, baked in muffin tins for perfect single servings. These creamy, caramel-topped treats feature a rich custard base that melts in your mouth.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for caramel)
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place a muffin tin inside a larger baking pan to prepare for a water bath.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar until it becomes a golden caramel. Quickly pour a small amount of caramel into each muffin cup.
  3. In a blender, combine sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth.
  4. Pour the flan mixture evenly over the caramel in each muffin cup.
  5. Fill the outer baking pan with hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the muffin tin (creating a water bath).
  6. Bake for 40–45 minutes or until the centers are just set.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. To serve, run a knife around the edges and gently invert each muffin onto a plate to release the caramel topping.

Notes

  • Make sure the caramel doesn’t burn; work quickly once it’s ready.
  • Chilling overnight improves texture and flavor.
  • You can use silicone muffin cups for easier unmolding.
