- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mix-ins (chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts)
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
- Fold in your chosen mix-ins (chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts).
- Scoop the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure a fluffy texture.
- Fill muffin cups only 2/3 full to prevent overflowing.
- Standard mix-ins include chocolate chips, fresh blueberries, or chopped walnuts.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
