Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 0.75 cups Buttermilk
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves (if using), and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, melted butter, and eggs until smooth and slightly creamy.
Add the buttermilk and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients, whisking until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should remain slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
