– 2 cups all-purpose flour – 1/2 cup granulated sugar – 2 teaspoons baking powder – 1/2 teaspoon baking soda – 1/2 teaspoon salt – 1 cup buttermilk or yogurt – 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted) – 2 large egg – 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.
Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk or yogurt, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth
Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Add-Ins: If you'd like to include add-ins like blueberries, chocolate chips, nuts, or diced fruits, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.
Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full
. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
