Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup optional mix-ins (blueberries, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, etc.)
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, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and fully blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir the batter until just combined; do not overmix. The batter will be thick and lumpy.
If you're adding optional mix-ins (like berries, chocolate chips, or nuts), fold them into the batter now with a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until 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. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Enjoy your Ultimate Muffins with butter, jam, or just as they are!
