Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Optional Add-ins
- Mini chocolate chips
- Blueberries
- Chopped strawberries
- Banana bits
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line it with mini muffin liners to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted unsalted butter until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender. If using any add-ins like chocolate chips or fruits, fold them into the batter now.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full for perfect rising.
- Bake: Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes or until the muffin tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm, ideally with maple syrup for dipping.
