🛒 Ingredients

Category Ingredient Quantity Notes
Dry Ingredients All-Purpose Flour 2 cups
Granulated Sugar ¾ cup
Baking Powder 2 tsp
Salt ½ tsp
Wet Ingredients Milk 1 cup Whole milk or $2\%$ works best.
Eggs 2 large Room temperature is ideal.
Unsalted Butter ½ cup (1 stick) Melted and slightly cooled.
Vanilla Extract 1 tsp
Topping (Optional) Coarse Sugar 1 tbsp For a slight crunch on top.

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prep & Preheat: Preheat your oven to $400^{\circ}\text{F}$ ($200^{\circ}\text{C}$). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.

  4. Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to mix until just combined. The batter should be thick and slightly lumpy; do not overmix. Overmixing develops the gluten and makes the muffins tough.

  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about ⅔ full.

  6. Add Topping (Optional): Sprinkle the tops of the batter with coarse sugar for a nice, crunchy finish.

  7. Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

  8. Cool: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These are perfect to enjoy warm or at room temperature with a fresh cup of coffee!
