Ingredients
- Dry Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- Wet Ingredients:
- 1 large large
- ½ cup (120ml) milk (dairy or plant-based)
- ⅓ cup (80ml) melted butter or coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional Add-Ins:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, chocolate chips, or diced fruit
- ½ cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold until just combined (a few lumps are okay). If using add-ins, fold them in now.
- Fill the Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ⅔ full.
- Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Storage: Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Customization: Swap all-purpose flour for whole wheat or gluten-free flour, or reduce sugar for a healthier option.
- Pro Tip: For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of cinnamon, lemon zest, or a drizzle of glaze after baking.
