Ingredients for Homemade Muffins
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons melted butter or oil
Instructions: How to Make Muffins Step by Step

- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the beaten egg, milk, and melted butter until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined—avoid overmixing for moist muffins.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips & Variations for Perfect Muffins
- Berry Burst: Gently fold in 1 cup of fresh or frozen berries for a classic blueberry muffin twist.
- Chocolate Chip: Add ½ cup of mini chocolate chips to the batter for melty bites in every bite.
- Savory Style: Mix in ¼ cup grated cheese and 2 slices chopped cooked bacon for a hearty breakfast muffin.
- Gluten-Free: Substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
