Bake muffins that stay incredibly moist long after you make them. Follow these steps for a tender crumb that resists dryness every time.

Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour
  • Granulated sugar
  • Baking powder
  • Salt
  • Milk
  • Large eggs
  • Melted butter or vegetable oil
  • Vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified in your chosen recipe. Prepare your muffin tins.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: milk, eggs, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Fold in any desired additions like berries or chocolate chips.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
  7. Bake for the time indicated in your recipe, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  8. Cool the muffins in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use room temperature wet ingredients for better emulsion.
  • Measure your flour using the scoop and level method to avoid packing it in.
  • Adding a small amount of sour cream or yogurt can boost moisture retention.
  • Do not open the oven door during the first two-thirds of the baking time.
