Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients and preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin pan or line it with paper liners for easy removal. Gather all your ingredients measured and ready to streamline the process.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined. This helps distribute the leavening agents and flavor without clumps.
  3. Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. This wet mixture will bring moisture and richness to your batter.
  4. Blend wet and dry components: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently fold together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Stir just until combined to avoid overmixing, which can make muffins tough.
  5. Fill the muffin pan and bake: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Cool and enjoy: Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy warm with syrup, butter, or your favorite toppings!

Notes

  • Do not overmix: Stirring the batter too much can lead to dense muffins, so mix just until ingredients come together.
  • Use a mini ice cream scoop: This makes portioning the batter quick and keeps muffin sizes consistent.
  • Room temperature ingredients: Using room temperature eggs and milk helps the batter blend more smoothly for a tender crumb.
  • Check oven temperature: A reliable oven temperature ensures even baking and prevents over-browning.
  • Add-ins tips: Toss berries or chips in a bit of flour before adding to the batter to prevent sinking to the bottom.
