Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Prepare Your Ingredients and Preheat: Gather all your ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or line it with mini paper liners to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. This ensures your rising agents and seasoning are evenly distributed.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Mix Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold using a spatula just until combined to keep the batter light and fluffy. Avoid overmixing.
- Fill and Bake: Spoon the batter into each mini muffin cup, filling about two-thirds full. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are lightly golden.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. They’re best served slightly warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to help the batter mix more smoothly and promote even baking.
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep the muffins tender and fluffy.
- Customize add-ins like fruits, nuts, or chocolate chips for personalized flavor.
- Check your oven temperature with a thermometer to ensure consistent baking results.
- Fill muffin cups about two-thirds full to create perfect muffin domes without spilling over.
