Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cups chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 0.5 cups raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the wells.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and the egg until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix—it's okay if there are a few lumps.
If using chopped nuts or dried fruit, fold them into the batter carefully to distribute them evenly.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are perfect for sharing with friends and spreading joy!
