Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 cups milk
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently mix the batter until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are lightly golden.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Serve plain as a delightful snack, or pair with butter, jam, or honey for extra flavor!
