Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 0.75 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 units large eggs
- 1 cup optional mix-ins (e.g., blueberries, chocolate chips, chopped nuts)
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 large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
If using any optional mix-ins like blueberries, chocolate chips, or nuts, fold them gently into the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden 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 pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the Marvelous Muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
