🧈 Ingredients
Here’s everything you’ll need:
-
120 g butter, melted
-
300 g flour (all-purpose)
-
120 g sugar
-
1 pinch of salt
-
120 ml milk
-
1 packet vanilla sugar (or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
-
1 pinch baking powder (about 1 teaspoon)
-
2 eggs
-
50 g chocolate, chopped (optional – can use chips or chunks)
🍳 Preparation
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla sugar until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients
In another bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix — a few lumps are perfectly fine!
Step 4: Add Chocolate (Optional)
Fold in the chopped chocolate or any mix-ins you like — blueberries, raspberries, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Step 5: Fill the Muffin Tins
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Step 6: Bake
Place in the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Cool & Serve
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature — they’re delicious either way!
