Ingredients
To prepare Classic Muffins, you’ll need the following ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional mix-ins: blueberries, chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, etc.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with cooking spray.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Mix Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Add Mix-Ins: Gently fold in your desired mix-ins (about 1 cup of blueberries, chocolate chips, nuts, etc.) until evenly distributed.
Step 5: Fill the Muffin Tin
Fill Cups: Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Step 6: Bake the Muffins
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 7: Serve
