Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Rice Krispies cereal
- 0.5 cups Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal and chocolate chips (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Evenly divide the batter among the 12 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.
Let the muffins 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 for up to 3 days.
