Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cups Buttermilk
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 whole Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Optional mix-ins like fresh berries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

If using mix-ins, gently fold them into the batter to distribute evenly.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy plain, or with butter or jam if desired.
