Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 pieces Large eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated 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 fully blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until 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 about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
