The Perfect Recipe for Tall, Fluffy Muffins with an Unparalleled Flavor (Made with Love)

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or whole milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1–1½ cups add-ins (e.g., fresh blueberries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk. Gently fold until just combined — don’t overmix!
  5. Carefully fold in your add-ins.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each almost to the top for tall muffins.
  7. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 12–15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy these fluffy muffins fresh — they’re best eaten warm with a pat of butter!
