- Line the muffin mold with liners or grease and flour thoroughly. Divide the batter equally into 12-13 muffin cups.

- Bake in the oven at 325°F for 15-18 mins. Check at 15 mins.
- If using cupcake liners, make sure to bring the cakes to room temperature before removing the liners.

- To serve, warm the puddings in the microwave and pour some of the hot toffee sauce on it and top with vanilla ice cream(optional). Enjoy!!
Notes
- The pudding can be baked in a 6 – 8 inch mold for 30 – 40 mins at 325F. Check if it’s baked at 25 mins as oven temperatures may vary. We don’t want to overbake the cupcakes.

Food for Soul
“Our greatest fear should not be of failure … but of succeeding at things in life that don’t really matter.” – Francis Chan
There are potentially endless pursuits in this life, but few that are truly worth chasing. Part of finding success is being able to draw a hard line between what you truly want, and what you don’t need in your life, otherwise the distraction will drive you a million miles from home with no directions to where you need to go.
Is there anything worse than giving something all you have when, in the end, it amounts to nothing? It makes you want to focus on what is important in life. At the end of your life, will the things at which you succeeded really matter?
But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but few things are needed–or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:41,42
When it comes to what is important in life, I believe our number one priority should be our personal relationship with God and then our family. Yet, we surround ourselves with multitudes of false idols. What are you worshiping? Where is your heart?
When you are moments from death, will you be able to look up to God and say “I’m ready?” Don’t waste any more time on gods that don’t last.
God bless you!
