How to Make Super Fluffy Homemade Muffins:

1. Preheat & Prep

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Line a muffin tin with liners or lightly grease each cup.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients

• In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

4. Combine & Mix Gently

• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
• Gently fold with a spatula until just combined—don’t overmix!

5. Add Optional Fillings

• If using chocolate chips, berries, or nuts, fold them in now.

6. Fill & Bake

• Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
• Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7. Cool & Enjoy

• Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
• Serve warm or at room temperature!

What to Serve with Muffins:

• A hot cup of coffee or tea.
• A side of fresh fruit for a balanced breakfast.
• A smear of butter or jam for extra flavor.

Tips for the Best Fluffy Muffins:

• Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can make the muffins dense. Mix just until combined.
• Use Room Temperature Ingredients: This helps create a smooth, airy batter.
• Muffin Liners or Grease?: Either works, but liners make cleanup easier.
• Baking Tip: For an extra high rise, start at 400°F (200°C) for the first 5 minutes, then reduce to 375°F (190°C) for the rest of the baking time.

Storage & Freezing:

• Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
• Freeze: Wrap in plastic and freeze for up to 3 months.
• Reheat: Warm in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before serving.
