Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour (2 cups)
- Baking Powder (2 tsp)
- Baking Soda (½ tsp)
- Salt (¼ tsp)
- Sugar (¾ cup)
- Eggs (2 large)
- Whole Milk (1 cup)
- Unsalted Butter (½ cup, melted)
- Vanilla Extract (1 tsp)
Optional Add-ins:
- Chocolate Chips (½ cup)
- Blueberries (½ cup, fresh or frozen)
- Chopped Nuts (¼ cup)
Instructions
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!
Notes
- 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.
