Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
In another bowl, mix together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs. Beat until smooth and well combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven 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 allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the vanilla muffins warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
