Treat yourself to the irresistible aroma and taste of freshly baked muffins with this easy-to-follow recipe. These muffins are super fluffy and bursting with flavor, making them the perfect breakfast or snack option for any occasion.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: Add-ins such as chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps in the batter are okay.
- If desired, gently fold in your choice of add-ins such as chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature, and enjoy their fluffy texture and delicious flavor!
- Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage. Simply reheat them in the microwave or oven before serving.
