Simple, soft, and classic—here’s a fluffy Vanilla Muffins recipe that’s perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack 🧁
Ingredients (makes 10–12 muffins)
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup milk
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven:
- 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
- Mix dry ingredients:
- In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix wet ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk milk, oil (or butter), egg, and vanilla.
- Combine:
- Add wet ingredients to dry and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Bake:
- Divide batter evenly into muffin cups (about ¾ full).
- Bake 15–18 minutes, until lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool & enjoy:
- Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
💡 Tips for extra-soft muffins
- Don’t overmix—lumps are okay!
- For bakery-style tops, sprinkle a little sugar on each muffin before baking.
- Add-ins that work beautifully: chocolate chips, blueberries, or a vanilla glaze drizzle.
If you want, I can give you a vanilla muffin with a crumb topping, keto vanilla muffins, or a vanilla cupcake-style version with frosting. Just tell me which one you’re feeling 😊
