Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cups fresh or frozen berries (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
Step 3
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and let it cool slightly.
Step 4
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Step 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 6
If using berries, gently fold them into the batter to distribute them evenly.
Step 7
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
