Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 large Egg
• 1.25 cups Buttermilk
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 tablespoons Optional toppings (e.g., sesame seeds, oats)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the honey, egg, buttermilk, and melted butter until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

If desired, sprinkle optional toppings like sesame seeds or oats over the top of each muffin for added texture and visual appeal.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 16 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
