Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cups mini chocolate chips (optional)
• 0.5 cups fresh blueberries (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each one is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Step 5

Gradually stir in the dry flour mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.

Step 6

If using optional mix-ins such as mini chocolate chips or blueberries, gently fold them into the batter.

Step 7

Using a small spoon or a mini ice cream scoop, fill each muffin tin cavity around 2/3 full. Do not overfill to allow room for the muffins to rise.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
