Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 1 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 1.25 cups Butterscotch chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in three batches, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the butterscotch chips with a spatula, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
