Classic vanilla muffins

Here’s a simple recipe for classic vanilla muffins that are fluffy and delicious:

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or milk mixed with 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.

  4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.

  5. Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

  6. Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

  7. Cool: Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy your classic vanilla muffins!
