Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional add-ins: chocolate chips, blueberries, mashed bananas, nuts, etc.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (be careful not to overmix).
  5. Fold in any optional add-ins, like chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts.
  6. Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For added flavor, try experimenting with different extracts like almond or lemon.
  • If using frozen fruit like blueberries, fold them in frozen to prevent the batter from turning purple.
  • This recipe is versatile and can be adapted to suit your dietary preferences by using dairy-free butter, milk alternatives, or gluten-free flour.
