Certainly! Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for vanilla muffins:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the muffin cups.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
5. Fill the Muffin Cups:
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
6. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
7. Cool:
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Optional: Glaze or Frosting
If you like, you can add a simple glaze or frosting to enhance the sweetness. Mix powdered sugar with a little milk or vanilla extract until you achieve your desired consistency, and drizzle or spread it over the cooled muffins.
9. Serve:
Serve the vanilla muffins as is or with your favorite accompaniments. Enjoy these delightful, classic vanilla-flavored muffins!
Feel free to get creative by adding chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
