Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
