Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cups milk
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 1 whole egg, large
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters 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.
Step 7
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
For variations, consider adding mix-ins like 1/2 cup of fresh or dried fruit, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter before baking.
