🧁 Classic Muffins

Serves: 12 muffins
Prep time: 10 minutes
Bake time: 18–20 minutes

🧾 Ingredients

2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
½ cup (120 ml) milk
½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup (150 g) mix-ins (like chocolate chips, berries, nuts, or dried fruit – optional)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.

2️⃣ Mix the dry ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3️⃣ Mix the wet ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

4️⃣ Combine wet and dry ingredients

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Don’t overmix—a few lumps are okay!
If you’re using any mix-ins (like chocolate chips, berries, or nuts), gently fold them into the batter.

5️⃣ Fill the muffin tin

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

6️⃣ Bake

Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

7️⃣ Serve

Serve warm with butter, jam, or just on their own for a simple, delicious treat.

🔥 Tips

For extra fluffiness, try replacing half the milk with buttermilk.
Add zest of lemon or orange to the batter for a citrusy twist.
If you’re making chocolate chip muffins, you can fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips for a sweeter muffin.

These classic muffins are quick, customizable, and always a crowd-pleaser! Let me know if you’d like a specific flavor (like blueberry, banana nut, or cinnamon streusel) or any other variations!
