Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup optional mix-ins (blueberries, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, etc.)
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 cups.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and fully blended.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir the batter until just combined; do not overmix. The batter will be thick and lumpy.
Step 5
If you're adding optional mix-ins (like berries, chocolate chips, or nuts), fold them into the batter now with a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Step 9
Enjoy your Ultimate Muffins with butter, jam, or just as they are!
