Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cups chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 0.5 cups raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the wells.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and the egg until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix—it's okay if there are a few lumps.

Step 5

If using chopped nuts or dried fruit, fold them into the batter carefully to distribute them evenly.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are perfect for sharing with friends and spreading joy!
