Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 large Egg
- 1.25 cups Buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Optional toppings (e.g., sesame seeds, oats)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the honey, egg, buttermilk, and melted butter until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
If desired, sprinkle optional toppings like sesame seeds or oats over the top of each muffin for added texture and visual appeal.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16 to 18 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 tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
