Fluffy Vanilla Muffin Recipe

 

Fluffy Vanilla Muffins

Light, airy, and packed with vanilla flavor—perfect for breakfast or a sweet treat!

Ingredients:

• 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
• ¾ cup (150g) sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk (or milk with 1 tbsp vinegar/lemon juice)
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prep:

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with butter.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:

• In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients:

• In another bowl, whisk melted butter, sugar, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

4. Combine:

• Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Do not overmix! A few lumps are okay—it keeps the muffins light and fluffy.

5. Fill Muffin Cups:

• Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling ¾ full.

6. Bake:

• Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7. Cool & Enjoy:

• Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Tips for Extra Fluffiness:

✅ Use room temperature eggs and buttermilk for a smooth batter.
✅ Avoid overmixing to keep them soft.
✅ If you love a sweeter muffin, sprinkle some sugar on top before baking!
