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
- 0.75 cups milk
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the bowl. Gently mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
If desired, fold in your choice of mix-ins such as blueberries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer 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.
