Servings: 12 -18 muffins
Calories: 178kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups mix-ins optional, see notes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease or line your muffin tin with paper liners. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, combine melted butter with granulated and brown sugar. Then add eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until combined.
- Fold in the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Some lumps in the batter are okay!
- Gently fold in any optional mix-ins.
- Fill each muffin cup in your prepared tin most of the way full. Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 350°F for an additional 14-16 minutes or until the centers are completely set. A toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins should come out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool, then serve!
Notes
- The yield for this recipe depends on whether or not you add any mix-ins. The basic muffins will yield 12, but adding the optional 2 cups of mix-ins, such as chocolate chips, chopped strawberries, or fresh blueberries, will yield about 18 muffins.
- For mini muffins, bake at 350°F for 12-13 minutes. This yields 55-65 mini muffins.
- Store the muffins in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days or up to 3 months in the freezer. Store them with a paper towel on top to keep them fresh for longer!
- Make sure the butter is completely melted before mixing it with the sugars. This will ensure your muffins rise well and have that lovely domed top just like the bakery!
