Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1 cup of add-ins (chocolate chips, berries, nuts, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line or grease a muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined.
- Fold in any optional add-ins like chocolate chips, berries, or nuts.
- Spoon batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay.
- Use room temperature eggs and buttermilk for best results.
- Customize with flavor variations like orange zest, cinnamon, or chopped fruit.
- For a crunchy top, sprinkle sugar or oats before baking.
