Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ cup (184 g) buttermilk, room temperature
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, melted, slightly cooled
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a standard 12-cup muffin pan by lining with paper liners or greasing with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda and whisk together thoroughly.
- In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be thick and slightly lumpy; refrain from overmixing.
- Allow the batter to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes to hydrate the flour, which aids in creating taller muffin tops.
- Distribute the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling them almost to the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 425°F for 5 minutes. Then, without opening the oven door, decrease the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the muffin center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Take the muffin pan out of the oven and cool the muffins in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Notes
For best results, use room temperature ingredients.
Don’t skip the resting time as it improves muffin texture.
These muffins can be customized with your choice of add-ins like berries or nuts.
