Homemade Vanilla Muffins

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 cup milk at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Preheat the Oven Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  • Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  • Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they are lightly frothy. Add in the milk, melted butter, and pure vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
  • Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as it may result in dense muffins.
  • Step 5: Fill Muffin Cups Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, divide the batter equally among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  • Step 6: Bake the Muffins Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Step 7: Cool and Enjoy Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy your delicious homemade vanilla muffins!
