Ingredients

- 2 cups of all-purpose flour

- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar

- 1 tablespoon of baking powder

- 1/2 teaspoon of salt

- 1 cup of milk (you can use whole milk or any other type of milk)

- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, melted

- 2 large eggs

- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

- Optional: Add-ins of your choice, such as chocolate chips, blueberries, nuts, or dried fruit


Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with paper liners.


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


3. In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well mixed.

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula or a wooden spoon. Do not overmix the batter; it is okay to have some lumps. If you are using any add-ins, fold them into the batter at this point.


5. Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.


6. Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.


7. Take the muffins out of the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.


8. Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature and enjoy!


Tips and Tricks

- To make your muffins even fluffier, you can use cake flour instead of all-purpose flour. Cake flour has a lower protein content and a finer texture, which results in a lighter and softer crumb.

- To prevent your muffins from sticking to the paper liners, you can spray them lightly with cooking spray before filling them with batter.

- To make your muffins more moist, you can add some sour cream, yogurt, or applesauce to the batter. These ingredients add moisture and richness to the muffins, as well as some extra flavor.

- To make your muffins more flavorful, you can add some spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom, to the dry ingredients. You can also add some lemon or orange zest, or some vanilla bean seeds, to the wet ingredients. These ingredients will enhance the aroma and taste of your muffins.

- To make your muffins more nutritious, you can replace some of the flour with whole wheat flour, oat flour, or almond flour. You can also reduce the sugar or use a natural sweetener, such as honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar. You can also add some nuts, seeds, or dried fruits to the batter, which will add some fiber, protein, and vitamins to your muffins.
