Equipment

  • 1 mini muffin tin For baking the muffins.
  • 1 Mixing bowls For combining ingredients.
  • 1 Whisk For mixing dry and wet ingredients.
  • 1 spoon or ice cream scoop For filling muffin cups.

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour Can substitute with cake flour or gluten-free flour.
  • 0.5 cups granulated sugar Can substitute with brown sugar, honey, or maple syrup.
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder Ensure it's fresh for best results.
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor.

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg Can substitute with flaxseed meal or applesauce.
  • 0.5 cups milk Any type of milk works, including plant-based.
  • 0.33 cups melted butter Can substitute with coconut oil or applesauce.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Can substitute with almond extract.
  • optional chocolate chips, fruits, or nuts For added flavor and texture.

Instructions
 

Preheat Your Oven

  • Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is crucial because a properly heated oven ensures even baking. While the oven warms up, you can prepare your muffin batter.

Gather Your Ingredients

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the dry and wet ingredients as listed above.

Mix the Dry Ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Combine Wet Ingredients

  • In another bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. If adding chocolate chips or fruits, fold them in at this stage.

Prepare the Muffin Tin

  • Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.

Fill the Muffin Cups

  • Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full.

Bake

  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool and Serve

  • Let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
