Muffins
This delicious recipe creates fluffy, flavor-filled muffins that you can customize to your liking.
Ingredients
For the dry ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the wet ingredients:
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional add-ins:
- ½ cup blueberries chocolate chips, chopped nuts, etc.
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease your muffin tin or line with paper liners.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract.
- Combine: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Don't overmix, just until combined.
- Add mix-ins (optional): If desired, gently fold your favorite add-ins into the batter.
- Fill muffin tins: Divide the batter evenly among muffin cups, filling about 2/3 full.
- Bake: Bake 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool: Let muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra fluffy muffins, let the batter rest for 10 minutes before baking. This will give the baking powder more time to do its magic.
- Don't have a muffin tin? Use a mini loaf pan instead! Just adjust the baking time accordingly.
