Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cups milk
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with 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 medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—it's okay if there are a few small lumps.
If desired, gently fold in 1 cup of mix-ins like chocolate chips, blueberries, chopped nuts, or raisins at this stage.
Evenly divide the muffin batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
