Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with non-stick cooking 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 bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and fully incorporated. If using vanilla bean paste, mix it in as well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, and gently fold together using 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 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 of the way full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the muffins are lightly golden on top and 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 muffin tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the rich vanilla flavor! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
