SUPER FLUFFY HOMEMADE MUFFINS RECIPE

 

Ingredients

Before we dive into the process, let’s gather the ingredients you’ll need:

1 1/3 cups (185 grams or 6.5 ounces) all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup (1 stick/115 grams) butter, melted

1 cup (200 grams or 7 ounces) granulated sugar

2 large eggs at room temperature

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk

Preparation

Let’s get started:

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line your muffin tin with cupcake liners and set it aside.

Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This step ensures your muffins have a uniform texture. Set the dry mixture aside.

Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the melted butter and granulated sugar on medium speed. Continue mixing until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, which should take about 3 minutes. Be sure to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.

Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: With the mixer still running on medium speed, add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is well incorporated before adding the next. Then, add the pure vanilla extract and mix until combined.

Combine Dry Ingredients and Milk: Reduce the mixer’s speed to low and add half of the dry ingredients to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix just until combined. Then, pour in the whole milk and mix until incorporated. Finally, add the remaining half of the dry ingredients and gently mix, either on low speed or by hand. Avoid over-mixing; this will result in lighter, fluffier muffins.

Fill the Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Bake to Perfection: Bake for 15–20 minutes, or 8–10 minutes if making mini cupcakes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

Cool and Enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove them and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

VARIATIONS
Here are a couple of delicious variations to try:

BLUEBERRY MUFFINS
For a burst of fruity flavor, add 1 teaspoon of finely grated lemon zest to the liquid mixture. After mixing the batter, gently fold in 1 1/2 cups of rinsed, dried, and picked-over (or frozen) blueberries. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sugar mixed with 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon over the tops of the muffins before baking.

CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS
If you’re a chocolate lover, add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the liquids. After mixing the batter, fold in 1 cup of your favorite chocolate chips. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with 2 tablespoons of sugar before baking for a sweet surprise.

There you have it – our Super Fluffy Homemade Muffins recipe that guarantees a delightful and satisfying treat. Whether you choose to make classic muffins, blueberry muffins, or chocolate chip muffins, these are bound to impress your family and friends.
