Vanilla Muffins

Ingredients (12 Muffins)

Dry ingredients

- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour 

- 3/4 cup (100g) granulated sugar (or slightly less)

- 2 teaspoons baking powder (or less, not more - consider just 1 tsp)

- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet ingredients

- 2 large eggs, at room temperature 

- 1 cup (180ml) milk, at room temperature 

- 1/4 cup (60ml) vegetable oil (or melted butter)

- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. 

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients:  flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. 

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. 

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined, being careful not to overmix. 

5. Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups.   Aim to fill each muffin cup about ¾ full. 

6. Bake muffins at 425°F for 5 minutes, then reduce to 375°F (190°C) and bake another 10–13 minutes, until a toothpick in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
