Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs should be at room temperature
  • 1 cup milk should be at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Add-Ins
  • 1 cup chopped fruits, nuts, or chocolate chips can be customized to your taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or spray it lightly with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—lumpy batter is okay!
  5. If you’re adding fruits, nuts, or chocolate chips, fold them into the batter gently.
  6. Spoon the muffin batter into each cup, filling them up about 2/3 full to allow for expansion during baking.
  7. Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or refrigerate for up to a week. Freeze them for up to three months and reheat in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.
