Every home baker needs a reliable muffin recipe in their collection. This version creates beautiful, tall tops and a moist center that stays soft for days.

My best tip for success is to avoid overmixing the batter once you add the flour. Just stir until the dry streaks disappear, which keeps the muffins light instead of heavy.

๐Ÿงบ Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup of your favorite add ins like blueberries or chocolate chips

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸณInstructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the batter.

  5. 5

    Fold in your chosen add ins like berries or chocolate chips.

  6. 6

    Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tin cups.

  7. 7

    Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  8. 8

    Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack.

๐Ÿ’ก Tips

Store these muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, you can freeze them individually in freezer bags for up to two months and reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds.
