Description
These Vanilla Muffins are soft, fluffy, and bursting with vanilla flavor. Perfect for breakfast or a snack, with optional almond extract for added depth.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup milk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the melted butter, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using).
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
