- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs

How to Make Super Fluffy Homemade Muffins
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
- In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the melted butter and sugar together until well combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4: Add the Milk
- Gradually add the milk (or buttermilk) to the wet mixture, stirring until smooth and well incorporated.
Step 5: Fold in Dry Ingredients
- Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this will affect the fluffiness of the muffins.
- If you’re adding any mix-ins, gently fold them in now.
Step 6: Fill the Muffin Tin
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 7: Bake the Muffins
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8: Cool and Serve
- Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm with butter or jam, or enjoy them on their own!
Serving Suggestions
- These muffins are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a snack with coffee or tea.
- For extra indulgence, serve with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey.
Tips for the Best Super Fluffy Muffins
- Don’t Overmix: Gently stir the batter just until the ingredients are combined to keep the muffins soft and fluffy.
- Use Buttermilk: If you want even fluffier muffins, substitute regular milk with buttermilk for a slight tang and extra lift.
- Add Mix-Ins: Experiment with different flavors by adding fruits like blueberries, or chocolate chips for a sweeter treat.
Storage Instructions
- Room Temperature: Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: To freeze, wrap the muffins individually in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or reheat in the microwave.
