Ingredients

  1. 2 cups all-purpose flour

  2. 1 tablespoon baking powder

  3. ½ teaspoon baking soda

  4. ½ teaspoon salt

  5. ¾ cup granulated sugar

  6. 2 large eggs

  7. 1 cup milk (or buttermilk for richer texture)

  8. ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled

  9. 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  10. 1 cup fresh or frozen berries, chocolate chips, or nuts (optional add-ins)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with butter or oil.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.

  3. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  4. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix to avoid dense muffins.

  5. If using add-ins like berries or chocolate chips, fold them in lightly using a spatula.

  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.

  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  8. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

You can customize these muffins by adding cinnamon, lemon zest, or a handful of oats for extra flavor and texture. Substitute butter with coconut oil or olive oil for a dairy-free version. Always use room-temperature ingredients to ensure smooth blending and even baking.

Tips

  1. Do not overmix the batter; lumps are okay and help keep muffins tender.

  2. Use buttermilk or yogurt for a richer, more moist texture.

  3. Add a sprinkle of coarse sugar on top before baking for a slightly crunchy crust.

  4. Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

  5. Reheat muffins in the microwave for 10–15 seconds for a fresh-baked feel.
