Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
¾ cup milk
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and sour cream.
4. Gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
6. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
8. Transfer them to a wire rack and let them cool slightly before serving.
Tips
Don’t overmix the batter, as this can make the muffins dense.
Make sure your baking powder is fresh for the best rise.
Fill the muffin cups evenly so they bake at the same rate.
Add blueberries, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or cinnamon for different variations.
For taller muffin tops, let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes before baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these homemade muffins warm with butter, honey, jam, fresh fruit, or cream cheese. They’re also delicious alongside coffee, tea, or a glass of milk.
